Got carried away cleaning..

I pulled the engine and tranny to upgrade the 700R4 and since it was out decided to clean some of the crappy undercoating from the engine bay (I have done most of the car now). Well what started as cleaning is now going to be painted....I only hope I get this thing back on the road this year to try out the tranny!!
Here are a couple pics....sorry about the quality..

Its funny how things escalate like that. You think you're just gonna do a little something and it turns into something big. You can't attach more than one picture per post. In order to have more than one picture in a single post you have to have them remotely hosted and then you use the IMG tag where you put the URL where the picture is located. That way you can post as many as you'd like, otherwise you can only attach a total of three pictures using the browse button.

that's nice but i hope your going to take off the brackets and other little things before you actual paint that area. otherwise it's going to look like hell once you decide to do any work to the car.

however if your not going for show and just want to paint it to look half way decent then it's looking good.

Wow, real painting tape! Looking good so far. I'm diving headlong into a growing project, too.. replace 6x9 speakers turns into recover sail panels & headliner and install new t-top weatherstripping.

It's not a show car Kandied91Z...I want it to look good but I'm not entering any car shows...
I just want it to look better than it did, run low 14's with the 305 before the new motor gets installed......
