short version is on engine and trans used oven cleaner, and tooth brush for hard to reach places.... water hose to rinse off...let dry then paint with aluminum paint, when dry apply 3 coats of high temp clear.....
on the frame and such... i had them sandblasted, then go over it with acetone (till clean), prime it with 2 coats, paint with 3 coats paint, then 3 coats clear..
remember get good quality primer, paint, clear so it will with stand the road... or powdercoat it
