Leaving the engine compartment as is without detail

I agree with the EasyOff (gentle formula-not sure of the particular name- don't use the caustic stuff, it can strip paint) and a pressure wash. It'll look real nice with minimal work, and you won't be embarassed to pop the hood. No need to over detail it.

That's what is gonna happen. This thread was worth it just for the easy off trick.... Didn't know that.

The most fun I have had in these types of cars are the ones with the least amount of detail. As said anything put back on it during reassembly will be properly detailed but that's because I don't rebuild dirty crap lol... Don't need to with a Pressure blaster and a Glass beader...
