Re: Engine compartment transformed in 12 days
You did an AWESOME job Yezzi! The engine compartment looks amazing. And in just 12 days, wow! Did you remove the inner fenders and the intake? I know you said you sandblasted them but did you put them in a cabinet or use a spot blaster? By the way, your rattle can work is superb.lol

I didn't remove the fenders or the fender wells I just used a lot of tape. I used a sandblast cabinet with black slag media on all the brackets, pulleys, exhaust manifolds, etc. I replaced a lot of the nuts and bolts with grade 8 and blasted them to bare steel and satin cleared them to match. It gave that OE raw look. I also used the eastwood satin clear on the firewall to inhance everything. |

Re: Engine compartment transformed in 12 days
WOW man... That is the best engine compartment I have seen in a very long time... CLEAN, STOCK and SIMPLE. A job VERY WELL DONE... Kudos to you for tackling it and making it look new again.

Awesome!!
I'd LOVE to drive it... Great work Yezzi... Did you relocate the build sticker that goes on the LH fender? BTW, all the details like the hardware, decals and everything else really put it over the top...
