4nomore Overhaul: Update #25- more engine bay work

First I'll say that I must be the only retard that take 3 hours to grind a 3.5" hole into a 4" hole....yeah it felt like an all day affair.  I used a combination of dremel grinding tool and a compressor 25k rpm grinding tool.  I suck, I can't beleive it took that long.
 

So; with the hole complete, I test-fitted my anderson powerpipe- it's ready to roll now! 
 

I'm grinding away any surface rust from the frame (specifically where the battery used to be) 
I've also treated it with rust treatment (primer & paint to follow)
Pick is from the backside/inner fender where the frame had a bit of surface rust, even though you can't see it normally, i can't just ignore it!
 

 
I've treated the channels with rust treatment, primer and a rust protection top coat ...including the underside of the sheetmetal to help prevent rusting out.  I re-ground the contact points for a sure bond with the jbweld-stick


 

Using jb stick I permentatly mounted the channel-cover sheet metal; now making a flush transition of the inner fenders to the frame.  Next time I'll have to grind away the excess jb weld.

No, you're not the only one. I spent a few nights on my exhaust plates, and prolly a week on the intake.

Looking great Nicole .. just keep taking your time in the end you will be much happier with the results. It always takes me twice as long as planned to do something too.

I am glad to see the dremmel that I let J borrow 2 years ago is still helping you guys out!! I was wondering if he plans on borrowing my lugnuts for the same amount of time because the bill is getting big...

Looks good nicole,I have to go to the track weds night for a meeting with the owners. I will stop by after that on the way home to see your progress.

joey, don't worry your dremel is in the toolbox safe and sound, I'm using J's dremel now (since we found it)
