And look,,, the only thing unchanged (or not painted) from the first picture to the last is the starter solenoid,,,,

I knew we could save $10 or $20 if we tried......

 

I hate to be right below one of the best engine bays I've seen but here it goes. From my 69 Mach, 351C, mildly modded cam, performer intake, holley 4150 dp, MSD dist., wires and 6AL ignition.

 

The A/C compressor will be different in a week or so, but here's mine as ofnow.

 

Soaring,, Thanks for starting this up again..

I would like to suggest that everyone also include what brand and color of paint they have used for the bay walls and the engine.. and if your bored post the method you used to get it cleaned up and painted... It seems like a lot but could be very helpful.. I cant wait to see some more pics!
