Servin Parts up Hot and Fresh!!!

just woke up! dayum! personally I would leave the damn water pump silver, but hell, everything else youve done looks great, i dont think you could go wrong.. Ive said it before, does it really matter what color dress Zoe Saldana has on? really no, im still mesmerized by all that *ss! your el co is going to be a force to be reckoned with!

Preciate that "Big Lil Bro" Thanks for swingin up to the job and kickin it with me for a lil bit. Its coming along. Bay is done. I can drop the motor in any time now... :wink:

Thanks D!!! Fam I'm just trying to get on yall level just a lil bit. Im learning a great deal by just gettin in there. I love arts/crafts type of shiz so this lil stuff is right up my alley. We gettin there!!!!

Tha Roc SHop Bakery is open fa biznezz! We servin pipin' hot parts FRESH out the oven (well easy bake oven-LOLOL!)

I'm thinking this will aid in hardening the paint(curing it) faster. I bake em at 300 for 5 mins. Then let cool for 5. Bake at 350 for 7 mins, then cool for 7 (ect up til 500 degree)

Added a lil detail to the chromed tensioner and idler bearing covers. The other bolts have been sand blasted and clear coated with Eastwood "Bare Metal" clear coat. Good up to 350 degrees...

I just finished the last "batch" and will let these sit in a cool spot til Friday. Should work cool. I decided to just clear the water pump. If I had another one sittin around I could have sprayed it blue and mocked it up for comparison. Hmmm. Junk yardin' time 🙂

I did add a lil blue on the tip. Its gettin a nose cone anyways and will be covered. I gotta find the right cover that will work with this water pump. Mine is a long style and thats the nose cover I got. Holes dont line up. I wonder if its not fitting because its a reverse style pump :? Hmmm...Welp! On to the next project.--Running/hiding the headlight wiring harness and looms... Thanks for checkin back..

Re: Servin Parts up Hot and Fresh!!!

Fam I really appreciate the input. 😀 Cant wait for you to swing thru Saturday and see it all in person. For a newb it looks pretty legit. A pro would have did things a lil cleaner but Im happy with how its turning out...

Man We servin hot and fresh motor mocha cookies, camshaft cookies and whatever else we can think of in tha shop!!! Yessir! Same high temp blue Rustolium engine paint I used on the block bruh :wink:

Got the wires for the headlight ran and tucked away. Looks clean! Imma leave the rest of the wires alone til the motor is in. Not sure what will be needed from the harness for the ac and other stuffs. Taking a quick break and then I'll snap a few pics before work..

back mask the "edelbrock" letters on the pump, do that in blue and clear the whole thing... tape over the entire pump, use blue painters tape... get a sharp razor, cut in the raised portion of the letters (the side of the letters) to expose only the letter and to help keep it clean looking, paint it blue, take all the tape off, clear the whole thing...

Leave the ribs alone, and Ill tell you why, if you dont, after you do it (and not from a design stand point)
people under estimate my skill set (with this paintin stuff), so they will get a little taste of what I can really do... soon

anyhow, gonna be a shame... once i pull up next to you and the gravitational force from my car pullin, makes all that pretty sh*t on your motor come off and try to cling to my car j/k (about the stuff actually coming off, but its gonna try 8) )

May as well paint the entire engine bay, with that silver you like (real paint and clear)... if I know you any better, this el co will be painted pretty damn soon too...

Damn warren its looking good and Saturday we will get that power steering pulley on cause seeing the motor dressed without the pulley is like looking a fat chick with a thong it just ain't right lol......
