Well all in all, to this point i think progress is great. I've learned alot, spent tons of money I didn't think I had. Purchased many tools never expected needing, and of course, recieved tons of help and goodies from 6gc.net. My thanks to the community once agian, I couldn't have come this far without ya guys!

Hah, yeap same red - Hopefully mine will darken out like that a little more. That pic wasn't even with the sun on it. All in all, a good base coat for whatever my indicisive mind chooses.

I hope she is clean, took me about 4 hours this morning. I just can't work on a any motor that is caked with stuff, which it was, and my plans to work on gaskets and such needed a clean exterior, yea it'll just get dirty agian, but its not 15 years of dirt now!

So gaskets next - Can't wait to take that valve cover off and see how much hate has been put on it, i have a sneaky idea alot, cause I pulled the PCV valve before I went to paint, and there was some severe crud on it. A dose of Seafoam is coming up as well, but that really doesn't leave much for the picture work =P.
