got the engine painted, took about 20 minutes with my sprayer and it turned out great. the tape is to remind me to go back and hit those spots again, too thin can still see primer a bit.

i also hung a new storm door.

i had to stay busy as it is the only way i can breath. i have a massive sinus infection and my face is swollen bad on the left side. if i sat and watched tv...i couldn't breath. if i worked...i could breath. darndest thing.

i found a place to rent an enclosed trailer for the salado meet....(unless my other lead returns my email, then i'll just rent) i just hope there is room to park it and unload it for the meet. i'll just roll out the car and part the trailer somewhere else, so hopefully there is room.

also i know that the bolts all over the motor should be painted, but i only did the head bolts. i plan on doing stainless bolts on the rest of it. i like the contrast it will provide and will spruce up the engine a bit without adding chrome. and if i ever need to take a bolt off i wont ruin the paint on the bolt. i.e. like getting off the timing chain cover, it'll just be stainless bolt and the wrench wont hurt it.

i haven't done the oil pan yet cause there is still some cleaning to do on it.

anyways enjoy pics.

Hank
