Muskin Dune Cat Find! (Help Needed!)
Finally painted the primer on today! gave it a good sand afterwards, it removed most of the scuffs and dings but not all, I suppose they will just have to stay. I cant be bothered enough to fill every little nick.
Need to get more basecoat, I can tell that a pint wont be enough for the entire body, unfortunately I found out after the paint shop closed, so that's a tomorrow thing.
Here's after wet sanding and a wash!

Welp, I totally forgot to take pictures after the application of the base coat.
But! I already applied the supershift pearl I got for it, I think it looks AMAZING! Here's some photos, and a short video!

Next on the docker for tomorrow is applying the Rattlebomb from RothMetalFlake and the clearcoat on top of that, then figuring out this drivetrain issue.
The gearbox flexes under load from the motor, and kicks the chain off almost instantly, its very infuriating and a head scratcher, I've tried bracing it with a few sheets of metal welded right where the gearbox flexes the frame, and with a wedged 2x10 against the opposite side, but all that did was break one of the crappier welds I had on the frame.
There's a strong chance I completely remove the gearbox for the time being, just so I can get this thing running without breaking welds or chains.

Very sorry for the long wait!
Heres photos of the finished paintjob! for a first go, I think it looks damn good. Especially since Ive never done automotive painting before.
The project will be taking another break for a while, Until I can get hands on again, I want to draft up a better drivetrain geometry, the current one is far too sloppy to work with my current motor/gearbox match.
