The inside of the pan is flawless, no issues. The metal is very thick on the bottom of the pan and I was surprised at it's dry weight. It is cosmetic damage I'm sure but I may pick up another pan to refinish in better condition.

Cool. If it's just cosmetic, can you spackle some extra powder coat into the divots before you spray the remainder? Use the plastic coating as "filler"?

Yes and no. It works somewhat.
I will do a little JBWeld bondo work. It’s good to 500 degrees F

Received the EZ Clip A/C hose kit and connectors along with some unicoils last night. Now I can get the Evap unit buttoned up and in place hopefully. I will leave the engine bay side uncut and ready to finish for when the engine goes back in.

Cleaned up the pan and layed down some JB Weld like bondo. When it cures, I will sand it down smooth for powder coating.

 

Have you powdered over jbweld before? I was under the impression the powder wouldn't flow over it, or are you hot spraying? 

It will take powder, but hot coating works best. Or a combination of the two is what I usually do.

Here's a link to a page in the thread detailing the process...

JB Weld powder coating

So much awesome in this thread... 

Which green are you going with for the body?  One of the original Datsun color codes?  Or something custom?

It’s a close custom mix. More metallic and a tad lighter.
