It sounds like your not feeling good about yourself : )

disturbinglykool · 09-04-2011, 08:59 PM

You got that Boom Boom Pow! I am jocking your style!

KMK454 · 04-08-2012, 10:24 PM

Yezzi, looks awesome. A few questions:

1. Is that the original AC Compressor?
2. Do you have a functioning Charcoal Canister installed? Any Pics?
3. Stickers - it appears you lost some in the process, and it also appears there are one or two "new" reproduction ones in there (by the jack). Where did you get them, or did you have them reprinted? And of the others, were they just lost in the process?

Great work; nothing like an original, clean engine bay. A lot of people "over-restore" them, but I think you nailed it.

Yezzi · 04-08-2012, 10:40 PM

Thank you! Yes it was the original compressor and I think I ordered the stickers from Yearone and lightly rubbed them with a compound to age them a bit.

Big-Sexy907 · 02-02-2013, 06:29 AM

When you guys yank the motor are you painting the engine on a stand, what do you use to strip the old paint, what paints are you using?

Sorry for the questions but my dually needs to have this done.

gdavis · 02-02-2013, 05:00 PM

Nice work bro! Yes checkout my links below

Dragging this back to the top. Did you use the zinc phosphate on the brake lines as well. I want to touch a few things up before putting my truck back together. I need to paint the fuel and brake lines on mine and also get some under hood paint. Is Eastwood only a direct dealer or can you buy their stuff through a distributor.
