Check out my engine bay
I was bored sunday and after the cpp show I decided to clean up my engine bay a bit. Some rustoleum rattle cans go a long way. I used thinner,painters blue tape, masking paper,80 grit sand paper and lots of cold beer. Lol. My bay looks nothing like the show trucks of Cpp show saturday but I am on a budget and for what I spent it looks much much better. What do you guys think? Master cylinder and headers are next to be painted. Note billet radiator,hoses,heater hoses are on there way. Thanks comments and feedback are encouraged and welcomed. Lol
