This is just an early showing of whats in store for my SS, well under hood appearence. Now that the motor was out and almost ready to go back in, i wanted to focus on the engine compartment as well. After stripping just about everything out of the engine compartment(all parts to be cleaned and detailed) i then cleaned everything up and prepped it. Right now i am just about ready to paint it tomorrow. Instead of the factory primer and base only, i'm going one step further and doing a clear coat. Since some spots in the old paitn rubbed through, everything will be getting coated with an epoxy primer first then the Light Pewter metallic base, and finally a few coats of clear. I removed the emissions sticker and belt routing decal to do a better job without maskign around them, and i have already ordered those decals and they will be getting put back. With the air lid, i have a TSP lid, but it will be getting the factory airbox sticker on it to give it a semi-factory look, just something i personally wanna do. The lower airbox will also be getting painted body color. Tonight i cleaned it up and sanded it down and that'll be getting sprayed tomorrow as well. This will be my first time painting but i have to learn sometime and i have consulted several sources including the paint shop, and i have a very good idea of what im doing so it shoudl work out good. here are some pics of the car currently and the lower air box....i'l also post pics after paint...
