    Mustang engine dress up

    So...I finally got they Mustang back up and running and decided..the engine bay is ugly. So I started tearing it apart again. I'm going for a clean and tidy look under the hood l. I have an uncle who uses the "bolt drawer" full of mismatched bolts, and I'm tired of looking at them. Time for an over haul.

    I'll post pictures in a bit.

    Fingers crossed...

      Noticed some incorrectly painted pieces during the body work, so off came the grill and all the hardware I could take off. Sanded and repainted...
      Here we go..

      After this....it was driving me nuts....the engine had to get repainted..do I started labeling, and disassembly.

            Do as I start the takedown, Turns out, radiator is clogged, so out it came. Then, I found out...water pump is in bad shape, thermostat housing too, so while I'm at it, it's all getting replaced. Might add well keep going at this point.

            I'm thinking chrome... :-)

            I wonder how I'm going to pass this by wifa!

            I'm tired, back it's killing me, back at it out tomorrow hopefully.

                  YES that would be sweet. I DO NOT want to pull the motor though, so I think I've settled on black. Maybe sometime later I will replace the intake manifold with a shiny one. For now, I'm going to rebuild what I have, repaint, and put it all back together.

                    Flushed the engine today. Water was super brown. Have the entire engine bay s good degreaser, followed by carb cleaner, now stripping the old brackets for paint.
