My car was originally a light metallic green, and when I did the color change to Minerva Blue, I had my painter do everything except the engine compartment, because I knew I would be putting in a 3.2 and I could paint it then.

When I did the engine swap, I washed it real good, scuffed it with some scotchbrite pads, and TSP, and then sprayed it semi-flat black from a rattle can. It was easy, and looked good, but it makes it a PITA to work in there unless I stick a worklight directly over the area I'm working. Food for thought.

Glad to see it's coming together.

Got your RH radiator on standby yet?
