The engine bay finally got painted! :D I'm very happy with the results. There's some overspray to clean and touch up to do. :)

Nice work Bob! Looks great, and it also looks like you put a lot of time and effort into disassembling everything. Well worth the effort. :)

The fun part will be remembering where everything is supposed to go. :) Not one of my better skill sets. :lol:

But it amazes me to see the difference a little refinishing can do. :D

The car is now back home. Time to start putting things back as they were. Hopefully, the engine will be back from the rebuilder in the next few weeks. :)

Yesterday, I needed some motivation to get on with the mundane work of cleaning and prepping parts for refinishing. I hopped over to Koosiers thread and looked at how nice refinished parts can be. So, today I began the process of cleaning. :)
