I would love for my engine bay to look half as nice as David's, but I don't have the time, money, or knowledge to do that. I would love to know how to do all this stuff. I have the skills do some of this, but as far as taking all the stuff away from the inside panels and painting all that Black? How many of these cars are DDs, (Daily Drivers)? It is tough to do this when this ride is my MONEY. But I feel if I start with just the shield, brackets and mounts, the rest will look like crap and does nothing for the work that I put in.
Lets start with step one. Paint the shield, brackets and mounts.
I will be getting some black paint later today. I will then sand down the prior paint that is on the brackets and the shield, as these will be easy to do. Is there any easy way of removing the paint and starting fresh? The rest of step one will happen later Tuesday as I will be off for a few days.
Step two and this is not a time issue. I want to replace all the caps with chrome. I have the Radiator one already and I want to replace the wires, as I have not done so in some time. This would be a good time to change the spark plugs, correct? This will be my tast for this week. Any good way of getting around paying 50 bucks X 3 for the different color coils? Or if I leave them black, what is the best way to clean them without screwing something up.
