Re: Underhood detailing
I used Walmart brand oven cleaner and pressure washed everything. Then I used a putty knife to get all the grease out of all the nooks and crannies. Then I just shot it with a fresh coat of satin black (I think that’s right...) and it looks AMAZING. I would highly recommend this for anyone. It’s not perfect, but it works for my rig.

Re: Underhood detailing
Paint the firewall along with all wiring etc., black or flat black like most truck on craigslist....then pressure wash so some comes off.
Seriously now, the firewall paint polishes up super easy with rubbing compound. Remove inner fenders, sand and paint. Scrub wiring with carb cleaner. Remove booster, sandblast ot wire wheel and paint, them install. |

Re: Underhood detailing
I'm fixing to do just this tomorrow to my daughters 68 stepper!
I bought 6 cans of oven cleaner today. Tomorrow morning I plan on spraying it down good and pressure washing it before I remove the motor and transmission. Then doing it again afterwards. Then painting it aall before the new 350/700R4 goes in.
