Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Thanks guys. Karl is doing an amazing job. I don't like to advertise in public when I'm out of town, so now that I'm back I can tell you I was in Ireland for 6 weeks. Thus no work on other projects..

I believe you're beyond the need of a parts car, but I saw this in the Phoenix Craigslist:

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Gotta give credit to Bruce on the majority of the bodywork. Karl gave it one last block and finishing touches before squirting that beautiful blue.
I'm right there with you man! Yep, couldn't be happier. Karl is the shiznit. Quote:

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
This looks AMAZING!!! I really like how this is coming along! What an excellent choice with the new painter, he's knocking it out of the park.
I do have one question. How do you know what parts need to be masked off for painting the engine? It looks like you taped off the area where the exhaust manifold mounts originally, but then in the finished pics it looks like they are painted. I'm debating painting my engine, but don't want to screw it up ![]()

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
the eaziest way to do that is take pictures of the assembled engine and tape of the holes (earplugs work good on boltholes ) and tape off the machined surfaces
that gives the nices factory fresh result originally they paint the block then machine it

Every engine (honda) that i have ever rebuilt has never been painted. Its just bare aluminum.

Was bare aluminum factory. |

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
ok ok iron blocks are usually painted that way , aluminium blocks can be done the same way
i wonder if there be a thermic disadvantage to putting paint on aluminium (i immagine they will run hotter with a layer of paint on them) but knowing the way they try to safe money its prolly just because it saves cash
