well my engine bay use to be a nasty white color and since the car is getting painted metallic black i figured i should take a stab at cleaning the engin bay my self. here it is......

Get a new overflow tank and paint the firewall and your all set. Pics pretty dark though.

 

that summit racing sticker gives me 50 horses extra

 

ya i know about that overflow tank and i need to paint the firewall but that is another day. otherwise i figure i save a good 3-400 bucks rather than having the paint shop do it.

 

and ditch the sticker. I hate stickers

 

Looks good about as clean as mine...But i dont have pics or i would show u! sorry! will pritty soon though!

adam..

p.s but yours is better bigger engine d=(

 

The engine bay is a little flat for my tastes but it looks good, especially since you can save some $$$.

 

im not big on stickers either. but since most of my products were bought through them i felt it was a nice touch. as far as it being flat i know that. thats hot paint. will the shiny metallic spray last with the summer heat??? i can do it it is no prob but will it hold up??

 

just thought i would add this. this is a pic of her in a two tone r i c e r look. i felt so bad driving around with a two tone car all my friends kept asking me when i was going to start taking my bumpers off . well tommorow she comes back with the black metallic flake paint i think after that all i need are some suspension mods and then i am done wow i never thought i would say that

 

Its getting painted now??? with your naked engine bay I sure would have gotten that painted too.

 

naked????? im not sure what you mean?? the shop wanted close to 400 to paint the bay no way i was going to fall for that.

 

i think you did an awesome job cleaning it....what products did you use to clean it? mine's decently clean but i wanna make it immaculate...thanks

 

Naked as in remove the overflow bottle, ac/heater box , etc and its wide open for painting. That price seems quite high though.

 

it took about 2 hours. i took everything off the side walls and sanded them with basic sand paper. then i sprayed 2 coats of primer and then a coat of hot paint from the shop. really was not that hard. i cleaned up my interior to take a look.....

 

that's a nice interior, i like that black, i have bright red but i don't even want to think about how much it'd cost to change carpets, seats and headliner color....what kinda tools did you need for that spraying? do you got a connection w/ a paint shop to get the sprayer and paint or can you just buy that stuff?

 

Looks nice

 

Good job bro

 

you can buy it from any parts store. it's like 3 dollars a bottle

 

That interior looks great.

 

Nice job, looks very clean.

 

looks stellar dude!

 

Hey chefdan, did those bowtie looms come with the 330 ho, or was it something you picked up separately?

 

looks pretty good. while i had the engine out of my iroc i cleaned all the gunk off the engine bay then i primered it and got a can of engine enamel and did the whole thing. i even tore down the insulation from my hood and painted the underside of it too. then i clearcoated the whole works and there ya go...show car finish in 2 days and 20$. looks great. i would post pics but im at school. lookin good though, add some more chrome.

 

dude where can i get some wire looms like that ? I need some good ones, do they bolt to the valve cover, or is there some other method of attachment ?

 

loose the sticker

 

you can buy them from summit. they bolt roght to the valve covers. i had no idea they were chevy bowties when i bought. i believe they are the horizontal wire loom kit. ill try and dig up a part number. a

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
