Engine bay detail looks great. What kind of time did you have in it?? Day, 2 days?? Thanks, Fred
Fred - I soaked the engine with a couple of cans of Gunk degreaser and pressure washed it last Monday afternoon. Chad came over on Tuesday and we took everything apart under the hood and inventoried everything. Then some more degreasing, cleaning and scraping. A good coat of Hi-Temp Gray exhaust paint and VHT Chevy orange brightened everything up. We then cleaned and painted all the smaller stuff and replaced things that were worn out.

I re-installed all the stuff we took off today. So, to answer your question, all total... maybe 10-12 man-hours plus 2 cans Chevy Orange, Flat Black, Semi-Gloss, Gloss Black, Grey Hi-Temp and a half dozen rolls of paper towels.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop

Just some new pics. We're on to the outside now. I'm probably going to cut and buff it to see if I can bring out some of that natural 'patina'

Naa, the paint is a little checked and has some peel in it. I'm just going to hit it with 2000/2500 wet and some Finesse It on a buffer to see if I can bring it up a little. Just low speed, nothing crazy. I think she will shine up some.

Dad has been cleaning on the interior too. It looks a lot better. Someone tried to fix the wrinkling door panels over the years and screwed some metal plate to the bottom edges of the doors (?) I'll fix that, no prob. It just looks kinda bad right now.

I am going to pick up some decals for the air cleaner just to finish it off. Did they ever make a drop base for this type air cleaner?

Anyway, here she is .. basking in some TN sunshine.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop

Question:

Should I stay around the house for my wife's purse party on Sat. or go to Dad's place and work on the GMC? Humm ..

I'm basically trying to get the GMC running good while the weather is still too bad to paint on the 68. I haven't forgotten about it!

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop

Thanks for the compliments guys! I really appreciate it

.. just to mention, the firewall was simply wiped down with Simple Green and paper towels. It looks like the original paint (to me) and has not been painted during the detail. It came out really nice. While we had the dist out of it I sat up in the engine bay and wiped it down. (at the same time found the casting numbers on the block ) With a little more love and an altitude adjustment I think it will make a great daily driver I can add a little to here and there.

Dad has been driving around town a little. He said it is doing really good. after the ride home I have a lot of confidence in it already! Pretty stoked about finding it.
