      Block is cleaned, taped off and primed.
      Tomorrow night will be green.

      That water pump is shit. It's easier putting it on there to paint than tape off.

                Green means it kills zombies, right?

                    But it won't be fast. That would be blue I believe.

                      Since he's going for outlasting the zombies (high mpg)... green would be good then.

                        So, I removed the final piece of the A/c system. Whatever the hell that piece after the blower is called. I took it out and resealed the box with grey RTV and reinstalled it. That was good for a 5.2 lbs reduction, which leads to a total reduction of 118.2lbs, and that doesn't include the block swap!
                        I removed whatever was left of the Evap line that ran to the charcoal canister. I also removed the right front brake line, but it should be replaced tomorrow night.
                        Started painted more stuff. (Turns out my powder didn't match the paint, and I'm out of fucks to give).
                        Started cleaning up the frame and cross-member, and will coat it with rust-encapsulator, then coat with plastidip.
                        I'm taking some parts to work to morrow to run through the parts cleaner, ultra-sonic cleaner, then cootermachine.

                        Woot!

                            Set the main caps up tonight. Also installed the rear main oil seal as well.
                            Tomorrow night the pistons go in. Hopefully I can get the oil pump installed too.
                            I need to clean out the oil pump pick up, and send my heads through the cootercleaner tomorrow. It should remove any beads still in there from bead blasting. Then they get reassembled and installed!
                            Getting close.

                                The front four pistons were installed (1,2,5,6)
                                I ran out of time. I might get some more time soon. Yeah.
