The engine compartment was just primed and painted yesterday. It looks 100x better than before! LOTS of scraping..de-greasing..and hand sanding(by yours truly) but it was definately worth it! 6990876-GTXATBODYSHOP(TONY'S)015.jpg (387 downloads)

At least I'll have that feeling of knowing I contributed to the over-all job! At least the car will be painted the same color this time..not 2 different shades of green! The old,single stage paint, was hard to live with all these years!...just never could scrape up the money to do a "decent" job on it! I'm not expecting a "show quality" job by any means....but I know it will look MUCH BETTER than before!....SHOULD be a little faster,as well!
