Engine Compartment Painting 120-130

I'm glad to report that the engine compartment is now primed. This has taken a colossal amount of work, and while I would do it again...not for a while.


This morning found me taking apart the steering box and getting the seals out of it instead of priming the engine compartment...but once I had pulled the Pitman arm, then I figured the easiest way to get the seals changed was to pull the steering box, one less thing to mask as well.



I'll let the pictures do the talking, here's the start point - not looking too pretty.












Then came a coat of epoxy primer (no photo's) and a coat of 2K high build primer.
















So after 12 hours it is all finished...now for some more sanding and filling and another coat of primer then on with the new top coat.
