Well now I'm finally caught up on where I stand with my process. The bay got its first coat of primer yesterday and all the seam sealer was laid down too.
Since I wasnt too sure how I liked the outcome of my rear subframe, I dropped it about a week ago and arranged for it to be sandblasted since it would not fit in a standard sanding cabinet.
I picked it up early this morning and then dropped both the front and rear subframes off along with a bunch of other little brackets to be powder coated
Everything should be coated within the week !
