Pics of Engine Compartment (so far)
Pics of Engine Compartment (so far) These came out awesome! It was a real challenge to get the FRCs right. I almost gave up. It seems like I sanded forever (a true estimate is about 10-12 hours). I actually used some body seam filler 1st - a disaster! Then I had to dig/sand/dremel/etc.. all of that crap out of the "Corvette" letters. Then I used some epoxy and sanded them down after they cured (a couple of days) and painted. They looked terrible! You could still see lots of pinholes and the outline of most of the letters. So, I decided I didn't have $200+ to pay someone else to do it so I started sanding some more. About 3 hours later I painted them white first (wife's idea and it worked great). That filled things in well. Then the NBM. Then the lettering, then lots of coats of clear. The STB is painted Hugger Orange (actually Chevrolet Orange engine enamel) with the NBM lettering.

I got the lettering for the FRCs, lid and STB from Brent Franker on his website (above). Brent can do ANYTHING you need. Check his site out, you'll be amazed.

Hey Guys, good call on the detail! I just got out there with some Mother's vinyl, plastic cleaner and just spent about 10-15 minutes and it does look a whole lot better. Thanks,
Jim

just get you some armoral (spelling), some metal polish, some greased lighting & plenty of rags and go to town. Thats what I do. & my engine bay is spotless. Well it was before I pulled the motor.
