Default H/C/I Project Underway!!

Hello Crew!

I just started my H/C/I today...and YES...I will be repainting the engine interior during this project

Here is the before:



Since the first half of my day was finishing the rear control arms...all I got to do was pull the hood, radiator, battery, air intake, belt and radiator hoses...

I got that thing at TDC too!



Hopefully Tommorow I will get everything out so I can paint on Tuesday...

Any tips??

lol...thanks for the advice...and sorry!

I am trying to stay as organized as possible. I bought 80 zip-lock bags...and 100 sticky paper labels. I have been labeling everything! I am just nervous that my kids are going to go out there and start throwing things around

Nice. Wish I had the money to buy that kit. I had to go with the poor mans HCI, aka GT40.
