Default Finally Painted The Engine Bay!

My buddy finally got a chance to paint my engine bay. He did a great job, I can't wait to get the motor back in this bad boy.

looks good! one thing tho is the paint going to effect those bolts that hold up the shock/spring.

Another thing are you doing some more stuff to your motor or did you just paint the bay?

Paint won't harm the bolts. Motor was out for a rebuild.

Ah well you really can't complain.

Were you out at the meet on Friday? I saw your buddy with the red sunoco and didn't know if you were there or not
