Well, I decided to take the car back off the road for a few months.
The rear quarter panel seams where bugging me to the max.
I don't think they would have been visible if I hadn't colour sanded the car. In direct sunlight at the right angle they where visible. I knew I should have glassed them in the first place.
I sanded the seams back down to the filler, sanded a chamfer along the edge of both panels and then laid up glass mat. This was then block sanded level and a small amount of filler was used to finish them off.
Currently the rear quarters are primed and block sanded. I also fix a few other issue elsewhere with the paint.
I have got a spray booth booked for the end of the month, so plan on just doing a colour blend on the rear quarters and a flow coat of clear over the complete car. I still have some of the original colour mix so the blend should come out ok.
If there visible after this they can stay that way.
I also pulled the engine to change the cam. The cam the engine builder used was miles too radical for street use, he called a street/strip engine but it was more strip then street with 314 duration. I changed the cam to a 280/288 with 113 degrees LSA. It should make a nice hot street cam and with a wider lobe separation suit the fuel injection better.
Also been working on the cold air intake and the wiper door motor mounting bracket.
I have removed a section of the seal that goes between the radiator support panel and hood. This is where I will bring the air into the intake. The aluminium duct will seal on the underside of the hood. Can't do much more here until I get the engine back in.
The wiper door motor is ready to be mounted but I will wait until the engine is back in before fitting this.
