It's un masked. Cat has been evicted from the house back to the garage. Hopefully drain plug shenanigans tonight.
And I completely missed the front lip of the hood with clear (and most of the paint too...) except the runs

Well it looks like you need to sand it all down and start all over. Sooo disappointing
I can't wait to see a better daylight picture
Not sure if you are familiar with this brand of sunglasses, but I am sure that they make a model that when you are wearing them and look at your home paint-job you would see perfect glass paint!

So much. Tuna is doing better than me IMO!
Rat rod ftw.
Am not! Yours looks way better
It's soooo easy to get runs in clear. Is this after cutting and buffing? If so, what procedure did you use?
In reply to tuna55 :
Naw yours will be way cleaner in the end, I gave up
In reply to java230 :
Someday we should get the two most unlikely GRM based project trucks together and talk about how great the other guy's is.
I definitely wanna be in there for that!
I'll bring the black truck
In reply to tuna55 :
100% two awkward trucks FTW.
No wet sand (needed) or cut and buff yet
Well JB weld here I come. That's definitely a hole

I don't think jb is going to work for that. Pull that pan, pull it like a dent, weld it up, and then check for leaks?
In reply to tuna55 :
Gonna try..... Can't get pan out without pulling engine....
Ive had mixed success with this style of repair.
Fingers crossed!
In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :
Scuffed and cleaned.... 🤞🤞I hope it works
They make jb weld gas tank repair putty that would probably work wonderfully for this if you end up needing it.
Id be tempted to try brazing myself.
In reply to wvumtnbkr :
This is their "steel stick" putty. Says gas tanks on it.
In reply to Mr_Asa :
I'm worried about contamination in a weld or braze from the oil inside the pan.
No drips this morning. But it may not have quite enough oil in it. I just did a quart
Add another quart, wait.
Then, if no leak, heat cycle the mofo and check again!

I've seen the vapors inside the engine ignite when someone was doing that. It puffed out all of the sheet metal so the timing cover and the valve covers leaked. They did fix that pan though.
If I were to weld or braze that I would first remove the valve covers, then flush the engine full of CO2 from the welder. Then weld. The CO2 is heavier than air so it will hang out in the pan for a while displacing any oxygen.
