Looks very good!! How much of a b!tch was it to get out the (i think it's called the "k"member??) out, where the engine mounts are?? I'm gonna be doing the same to my '85 Iroc project, and your pics are very motivating!!!

 

Very purdy! Funny how the camera seemed to pick out that pink! Looks very nice... what's going to be sitting in that bad boy?

 

That turned out very good

 

Heheheheh, that pink looks fairy nice! :lala:

Try little photo editing to clean the color balance up a bit next time to avoid the razzing.

That thing's going to be sweet man! :hail:

 

looks very good.

 

I think Barbie will be really happy when she gets her car back.

Just razzing you. I think it looks very good, all the unthought of details like repainting the engine bay make the complete picture that much better.

 

Can i ask what type of paint one would use to paint the engine bay to stand up the the heat? Is there any clear coat on that? Looks like it cause of the shine, but i know absolutely nothing about painting cars...

And how you went about painting the engine bay if u dont mind.

I am trying to get together all the info i can about starting a project, and i'll have to paint the engine bay soon enough.

Thanks

 

I jsut used normal car paint. there really shouldn't be anymore heat in there than when the sun bakes down on your car in da summer.
