Got real tired of the total black out look in my camaro so I decided to pull the motor out and start on the restoration. My engine compartment was originally white so I wanted to go back to it for a long time. after I completed the painting, I then decided to do the underside of the car to. Here are some pics of it. After all the crap was stripped off the floors , they are finally prepped and ready for painting.

the beginning


in progress

 

Finished

The floors after many hours of cleaning



finally the rear end it done also. About 4 hours of wheeling on this one. I have some touch up to do but this new product called KBS is great. Its like POR-15 but comes in colors.

 

I hope to have the floors done by this coming weekend.

 

Hey man the engine compartment/rest of the car is looking great!! I've always really liked your car and its my goal to eventually have the paint/body work look that clean and nice looking on my car. Good luck on finishing it up

 

Thanks Man

 

looks good, lots of cleaning involved I bet... under hood looks great. (make sure you put a grommet on the hole where the red wire is running through)

 

Too Nice, if only I could be on that level.

 

Yea about a weeks worth of cleaning just to get the floors ready for painting. My arms are still sore but its going to be worth it. Yea my grommet was nasty, try to find another one.

 

Thanks Man

 

Well I finally got the underside of the car done. It was more work than I thought it was going to be. I now have the piece of mind that the underside of my car will never rust.

 

What paint did you use on the under side of your car? I was planning on starting that today on mine

 

What is mounted in the tunnel?

 

what kind of torque arm mount is that

 

It's a Jegster torque arm. I ran one for a long time and liked it.

 

yes you are correct. It is a jegs torque arm.

 

It is called KBS Coatings.

 

I sanded all the rust down then put that navel gel on the rusty spots let it sit for like an hour then cleaned it with water then cleaned it again with brake cleaner. THen I sprayed that rust tough stuff on it stops rust surposedly I think I got most of it. Should I be in the clear?

I still have a big streak to sand and paint but I got the vast none rusty area covered

 

What did you use to clean it?

 

It looked insanely good before too. Kinda stoked to see what it'll look like after!

 

nice work, cant wait to see pics with the motor back in

 

Brings back memories!
