Engine compartment transformed in 12 days
Let's talk about opening a can of worms. I made the mistake of taking my jack out, cleaned and painted it and put it back in. This started everything. I then started on the firewall and before you know it the motor. Not bad for 12 days of none stop cleaning, sandblasting, wire wheeling and painting.

Re: Engine compartment transformed in 12 days
How did you go about that? Did you pull the motor or just the surrounding parts? Looks great by the way.

Re: Engine compartment transformed in 12 days
Holy crap, man! Amazing job. I too would like to know to what lengths you had to go to achieve that. What did you end up just throwing away and replacing? Did you get all new bolts and such? Hoses? Alternator?

Just amazing.

By the way, do you have any more photos of your entire truck? I've been drooling over your avatar for some time now. Love the hubcaps and stance.

looks like it. I believe he said he started by painting that and it went from there. Mine is on the other fender (87 r10)

I ask because looking at these two pictures the holes look to be a different layout on the inner fender. I think it may just be the angle though.

Thanks and great job!! Looking forward to doing mine!!
