Engine Porn!

With a new clear engine window the rocker cover was begging for some colour!

I decided to go with Yellow (the Beats original colour) simply because it's so damn bright and keeps some of the original car, besides what's the point in being subtle

The Yellow that's left in the engine bay now looks intentional, rather then a bit I'd missed with the re-spay.

Engine lighting to follow....

That is gorgeous for sure.

I forget - did you do a rebuild? If not how did you get it so clean? I've tried some spray engine cleaners that don't work to speak of.

Thanks,

No rebuild, the rocker cover came off to get sprayed yellow and the bits that look "clean" were hand painted painted silver or black

Ah, that makes sense... Obsessive

But it seems to me that back in the day, engine cleaners actually brightened up the metal, especially aluminum. They musta taken the good stuff out for environmental reasons.

Can't say I've had much experience with engine cleaning products. Nor can I take the credit for the paint job. I have a good Russian mechanic friend who I left the Beat with to do that.

that looks brilliant - very nicely done
