I'm about to start on a new roller. Engine/trans out and I'll be using a lot of body filler and painting with spray paint. Sebring silver.

Looks so much better already!

Geez...I am in the the middle of a convsersion project. Now i feel obligated to clean up the engine bay. This project is seem to be never ending. just when i think i am ready to drop the engine back in something comes along. And now it's the engine bay (which really needs it). I guess i am ahead of game with the engine already out. What intimidates me is the rest of the stuff so...any how to tips would be great.

I should probable take the front fascia off but...

I repainted mine again, only black this time. This time around I shaved & filled all the ground wires, extra holes, & most of the pinch welds & seams on the fender wells. Still with the engine in place.
