Powdercoated Skins & Parts

Got my parts back from the powdercoater and they look fantastic.  Above are the front and back of the 2 tall doors - everything looks great.  There have been some questions if you could powdercoat skins that were bonded together with JB Weld - but no problems here.

This is the rear door made up up 10 separate parts all JB Welded together.  Both side were powdercoated (same as the doors above) so the inside looks just as nice!

These are the parts I had coated in this batch.  Note that I had some extra driveframes so I took them along just for fun, the drives installed in my R2 are not powdercoated (yet). 

Legs

Time to get the last of the parts ready for powder coat.  Here is the shoulder shim sitting on the leg.  I drilled and tapped the mounting holes for the shim and also filed out the leg bolt mounting holes a bit so everything would fit.  The legs will mount, then the shims will be bolted on and finally the shoulder will mount to the installed shim.

Leg with the shim, shoulder, booster cover, ankle bracelet and strut installed.  The only remaining part to install are the under shoulder details and then I can get the legs finished.

Legs

Started to work on the legs, all the tedious little things that need to be done.  First I had to notch the bottom edge of the leg so they would clear the bolt heads that hold on the ankle trim.  Then (shown above) I started drilling notched holes to attach the booster covers.

I used files to clean up the holes, man do I want a milling machine!!

Legs at this point.  I still need to drill more holes for the shoulders and shims but am waiting for those parts so I will do that at a later time.
