and mine

 

oops wrong button, try again

 

zepher...what did you do to the hood in the last pic to make the underside look like that? so smooth...

 

it's an RA1 hood dude...

 

ah thanks dude...

 

Mine. 350 dropped in the RS this past summer. The AC is the next thing to go.

 

I've become a usual suspect in these threads by now. Here's mine as it sits currently. still needs lots of little things attended to.

 

Here's one

 

Not a good picture

 

Working on it, as you can see Gotta remove a lot of crap left over from when it was FI

 

JeremyNYR, after painting the engine bay in pewter, how do you like it as far as flowing with the car? My car is white too and I have wanted to do the pewter engine bay for about 4 years and havent found time to pull the motor and do it right. Also how much does it show dirt compared to the original white? What type of paint/clear did you use to paint it to hold up to the chemical and heat abuse the area gets? Thanks in advance for any tips you can give because I think that looks ultra badass with that color and a nice clean motor! Maybe next summer....

 

The color is actually Chrysler Bright Platinum Metallic, but it's very similar to the GM pewter color. I don't really think of it as going well with the beige body color and didn't really intend for it to. When I have the money and finish some body modifications, I plan to have the whole car painted Platinum. As for the type of paint, I had a shop do it but I don't think they did anything different in the engine bay than they would on the rest of the body. I've done my best to minimize exposure to any fluids, especially when reinstalling the braking system.

It's pretty good at hiding dirt/dust, although I try to keep it pretty clean. I washed it 2 or 3 times over the summer. The biggest thing I think the new paint did was point out how everything else has to be brought up to par. My TPI looks crappy now, my spark plug wires really need to be replaced with black ones and routed better, and several other things stand out. If it were old paint, everything would look just fine as it is.

 

 

Betcha mines the ugliset!!!

 

and another. Check out the inch of crud on the block. Thats what happens when you let an 80K car sit for many years outside

 

absolutly beautiful flirtin

 

heres a pic of my tre-o-five, aint much for top end but down low, she knows how to please

 

I've seen worse! it doesn't look that bad.

 

I guess that's true, but I still feel ashamed everytime I pop the hood for someone.
It was horrible when I bought it, BONE STOCK. That and squirrels and cats lived under the hood. Im just a perfectionist I guess. I took it for a test drive and heard a horrible noise. Damn squirrel tangles in the smog pump belt. YUCK.

 

Getting better ?...

 

wow! looking good deadbird. Can't wait to see it with a fresh coat of paint.

 

how about a ls1

 

sorry for the close-up shot damn hood shock are weak had to hold the hood up with one hand and the camera in the other !

 

not a very good shot of it , but it has run 10.31 @ 132.87 on a 150 shot . car weighs 3600# with me in it

Thanks bud. The pics you emailed me of your engine bay kind of helped motivate me.

Santa brought me some paint for x-mas too

Your typical 436 incher.

 

Very nice!
But we gotta change the baby sh*t brown connector on the tps.

 

LOL, Gee, I have a strange feeling I have heard that before, somewhere, sometime!

 

Thanks, thats mine.

 

sinister youve been popping up lately around the web and i absolutly love the car!! those motor pics really do inspire me. im digging the braided hoses for the ps pump, heater hoses, and radiator catchcan. the chromed upper rad hose looks awesome too because of all the things you have polished.
where did you get that ps pump bracket and do you have a part # by any chance??

BTW how is it driving without power brakes???

 

The p.s. pumb bracket is from March Pullies, I can'y remember the part # and as for driving the car without power brakes...to me it feels the same as having power brakes, but you have to press a little harder...it takes time but I got used to it.

 

Bone Stock, unrestored, undetailed

 

Thank you.......I found a video I forgot I had up, it is from last year and the engine bay is in the second one
