The paint is probably 1/16" thick in spots....

Ken
Now that the car is in the hands of the media blaster,get some golf rounds in before the assembly starts.
Your "builds" are the best treads on here. Sipping a coffee and enjoying the progress!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: kwhizz</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> I needed to raise the Engine about 5/8&quot; to get the Pan off the Crossmember.....Rather than mess around with Frame mounts and Motor mounts, I decided to make new motor mount adaptor plates......because the mounts are on an angle and I wanted to raise the engine, I had to figure out how much to move the rubber mount holes and how much thicker to make the plate to get everything to fall into place.....here are some pic's

Store bought plate in black......you can see how the 3 rubber mount holes are moved down and the plate is also thicker

Cool. Question though...the media blasting won't affect the convertible top?

They seal it off with tarps.......and seal the edges....Plus the plastic media isn't aggressive......
