Tackleing the big job before summer!!
So it's finally time to get my pride and joy ready for the summer. If any of you followed the story of how I got my Z, you know she definitely needs paint to get ready for the ball! So I have finally got everything I need to start the project. Figured I would start with the engine compartment before starting the body. I will be posting photos of the progress if anyone is interested, or if anyone needs a hand for future projects.

Most all the pieces to get stripped and powder coated.

Re: Tackleing the big job before summer!!
What a dirty mess to clean! Had a leaky oil cooler line that blew oil back on the engine. Gonna take a lot of simple green! Here is the first cam cover straight out of the oven! I am very happy with the results...although the red was a pain! Going for the black widow look. I even coated and refurbished the emblem. On the engine photo...can anyone spot the real pain in my butt??

Re: Tackleing the big job before summer!!
Nice work! I am starting the same project. I am going to do it all myself. I ordered an Eastwood soda blaster that should be here in a couple of days. How did you do the emblems? I have an extra set that is used and ratty looking.
Pain in the butt? I am going to guess the left cam cover since it is still attached in the picture.

Re: Tackleing the big job before summer!!
Gonna have to chat with me on the emblems- I think that would straighten up the look on mine without buying replacements.
