By far the most interesting thing I have done , our car has gotten its first coat of paint last week. It is a lot of work to sand down the old paint but well worth the reward. The car to your left was how it looked before the primer, and the car to the right is after the primer has been applied. Although it looks very smooth it is actually still rough. The next  step is to sand it down again until it is completely smooth. By the 3rd coat there should no imperfections at all, because the imperfections will be magnified when the fresh paint of coat is added. As for the new engine, we have not gotten our hands on, but hopefully will soon!

1. What I plan to do for my 30 hours is continue to work with my mentor, there is still much to do with his car, and we have only scratched the surface.

2. I will upload pictures with captions in order to track what we have been working on. For instance we need to remove the engine and I will show a variety of pictures ,with details, describing the steps we had to do in order to accomplish the task.

3. In my opinion hands on training is the best way in order to perfect my knowledge of a vehicle. I find it interesting to read in my research, but when I look at it, I fell as I truly understand what i have been reading.
