Thank you for the kind words. I never quite know how much is "too much" and I use comments like yours to fine tune the quantity of info.

Re your vision: that's my point. The engine block and the alternator bracket are several hundred mile apart until they come together on the motor line in the vehicle assembly plant, and there's no painting going on then. The scenario you've proposed could not happen.
