Good job man !
Wish I would've done that....but...inexperience won that battle.
Glad you listened to reason. That cars in very good hands.
Wait a minute.....You have the entire drivetrain out of the car, and a perfect opportunity for a quickie detail of that engine compartment, and now you're gonna just throw the engine back in on top of 30 years of grease, road grime, and Iowa funk?Lol, Im pretty sure anyone in here could have done it better. But it will be covered by the intake tube, and its never going to be a show car anyway. Just didnt want it rusting away more! Hopefully tonight I can sand it, paint it, and drop the engine in while it dries!
If that's the case what was wrong with the factory wheels, the factory front bumper, the brakes, and that old-ish stock 5.0?Why get all bent out of shape over something 99% of the world will never see? I have to wash the bay before painting the repair, but if the white film doesnt come off with a few scrubs of a brush, Im not going all @madmike1157 on it with a toothbrush and a buffer. It is what it is, a 28 year old unrestored car... The top half of the bay (the part you actually see) is clean enough to make the new(ish) engine not stand out like a sore thumb.
You'll thank me in the end..Mikey, Mikey, Mikey, whatever would I do without your logic? Those broken, worn out, or unsafe parts dont really relate to caked on dust film in an area untouched or unseen in regular day to day use. I will give it a once over just for you though.
Uh ohhhh..........Mikey, Mikey, Mikey.......I will give it a once over just for you though.
You'll thank me in the end..
I'll just say "you're welcome" now.
Hopefully, they only had to do my custom built stuff once though..
I can't watch this,..( it'll make me faint) but you guys can
Is that cast coat iron on the valve covers?
