Been a while since i have really been on the forums, decided now was the best time as ever to stop in, say hi and update on my progress.
Just got done (about 2-3 hours ago) with spraying the final coat of clear in the engine bay, there are a few imperfections but over all i am VERY pleased.
Took a lot of work, creativity and time to get it this far! and i highly recomend it as it looks clean as hell
my welder budy is taking his sweet a$$ time in getting the cage done but its kinda getting there


as you can see it was pretty rough when started





designed and fabbed up these angle pieces to clean up the bay awsome!!!!


me doing somehitng with a grinder.... didnt know my dad was taking a pic either



fun little pics













we used a multitude of fillers, and body puddy to make it as smooth as possible but as always there are imperfections.

 

Looks good! I am still still contemplating on what to do with the aprons on mine. I just might have to do what you did right behind the headlights. OO well, I will eventually pull the motor back out to clean the whole bay out so I have time.

Keep it up!!

 

I just did mine over the winter, only I didn't fab up the plates like you did. Don't worry about any little imperfections, you will never notice them when the engine is in there. Looks like you did a great job.

 

thanks guys! ya im going to order a few parts i need to throw the engine in the bay this week, just to get it off the engine stand (which looks like its a bout to break lol)

 

looks really good man! like the other guys said don't sweat the minor flaws as you will not see them once you engine is in. looks great.

 

ya i know, but ill know they are there lol.

 

looks good like to see what it looks sitting in there

 

U did a great job!

 

well if i get it in, i will def put up some pics for ya!

Basically all i need to put it in is engine mounts, and a new oil pic up (one on engine got bent)

 

Awesome job. Makes me want to pull my engine now and do mine.
