Scotts 289 Build Thread

[Zots]

June 6, 2018, I received the 289 USRRC complete kit with IRS, power steering, sway bars, heater, windshield wipers, Wilwoods, and 15" Halibrand replica rims....so it is about time I start a build thread.

ALUMINUM
I like the look of aluminum so all engine compartment aluminum was brushed using a straight edge, sanding block, and ultra-fine gray ScotchBrite. Then sealed with SharkHide. I am very pleased with the result; however, the first few pieces on the passenger side foot box were treated with SharkHide prior to installation. That was not a good plan. I choose to use the Bostik 1100FS (from Breeze) so cleaning the goop that oozed out compromised the SharkHide. The remaining pieces will be installed, cleanded, then sealed with SharkHide. I really like the Bostik adhesive/sealant.

Here are a few shots of the brushed aluminum in the engine compartment.
