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.

How did you go about that? Did you pull the motor or just the surrounding parts? Looks great by the way.

what did you use for the engine paint?

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.

No I didn't have to pull the engine just spent many hours hanging over the fenders. It wasn't so bad with the hood and hinges off. I used Eastwoods spray gray under the actual hood and eastwoods zinc phosphate on the hinges, hood latch and master cylinder. All the nuts and bolts I sand blasted and used eastwoods satin diamond clear spray on them. I also used eastwoods brush on factory gray exhaust paint they came out perfect after I blasted them too.
