Engine Facelift Pics
Permalink  

Everything is going well with the engine clean and tune up.  Thought you guys would like some pics of this weekends progress.  lueger68 (kevin) and I stripped her down and chipped, brushed, brake cleaned and wiped the engine.  New paint looks good.  Next we'll take the inner fenders and weld up the ugly gashes, sand blast, and powder coat them. While I'm at it I'll sand blast the hood hinges and the headers.  Might as well do it right. Here's some before and now pics.smile  biggrin  smile

Ah, I'm getting a censored.gif

Do hope you will junk that censored.gif yellow accel coil, and mount a nice little black stock-looking coil in the original place ...

Looks like no more A/C. Not sure I could ever delete that on a car.... Engine compartment looks fantastic. Great job! Getting the engine one color sure makes a big difference.
