Sandpaper after paint. Then polish. Very tedious

Im still at it but took a little time off from the  RD to address an overheating issue with my Vette. First, fan controller went out. Got that fixed, then the radiator decided to start leaking, fount out that the radiator support bottomed out somewhere and got mangled I had to spend a considerable amount of time and money modifying a new radiator support to get more clearance. Now just waiting on a beautiful new all aluminum "race" radiator. Also pulled the intercooler, piping and other crap out to clean and polish.

Back to the RD. Got the RSW fork brace installed, fixed a brake fluid leak and tried to set initial timing but I'm not getting any spark. SHIT! I believe I have a bad relay as I have power going in, I can hear it click when I turn the key. Have voltage into the relay, but not out. Should have a new relay from amazon in a day or so.
