Cleaned the engine compartment this week.

I started off by wanting to sand and paint the rad shroud and things snowballed from there.
Then the alternator bracket came off,then the inner fenders,then the frame and firewall needed some attention too,LOL
Ended up taking me the best part of a week.It didnt turn out quite perfect but the wet and cold weather we have been having didnt help as I had to do the painting outside.
Heres a few pictures;

I had brush painted everything when I rebuilt the engine a few years ago and had to do a rush job as I was tying up a hoist at my buddy's shop.This time I used rattle can spray paint from Princess Auto that was on sale a couple of weeks ago and it seemed to work fairly good.
It would be nice to have the time and place to be able to pull the engine out and do a really nice job,but this will have to do for now.
The weather turned chilly as I was painting the heater/AC delete plate and it has a run in it,I almost slapped some stickers on but I'm not a fan of doing that.
