Its not perfect, but keep in mind i rebuilt the engine, installed new heads and intake, cleaned and painted the engine bay and re installed it in 3 days.

looks alot better. pretty stellar job for only a 3 day project.
what kind of paint did you use, and did you prep the surface rust any?

Re: Engine compartment before/after
The paint was a rustolium(?) type, it is a can with the diamond plate look on it. Ill let you know when i find it. I cleaned any rust areas, sanded them with fint emory cloth, then hit the whole surface with scotch brite, then wiped it all down and blew it all down with a air nozzle. Still amazed with what i did in three days, i didnt even expect to have it done this far till next month, i also cleaned up the engine harness.
