I was hoping you'd say that Spent forever on it. As far as the silver parts I polished them with polishing compund. Got them very shinny! Then cleaned everything else with the orange hand cleaner stuff.

I went all out, even all my belts...etc are spotless!

Wouldn't be intersted in selling those wheels would ya?

I'll trade you cars...Yours looks exactly what i'd like mine to look like, except mines a Sport Coupe, not an IROC. But, after i get the Sport Coupe fixed up, i might sell it and get an IROC, in about 5 years lmfao.

Actually, i love those wheels. I'd like to find some for my car. But i have to say man...You have the sweetest looking car around here.

Good job on the engine.

Looks brand new. Just some advice every now and then spray some "engine brite" or "gunk" on it before all the crud builds up.

Nice engine. I just bought a lower intake and some runners off ebay. Next is the plenum, I'm planning to make them shine like a mirrior. Too bad the rest of my engine looks like something **** on it. Maybe I should try what you've done. What did you use for the degreaser? anything? Once again, nice engine bay... nice car as well!
