How dare you show me that while I'm at work. You just gave me the itch. It looks really good. What made you decide not to take the blower motor or the steering column out?
 
Whether I would mess with the runs or not would depend on where they are. It surprising how much is covered up when everythings back in.
 
Nice job Adam! My truck had a butt load of drips in the engine compartment too. When I repainted (rattle can), I made sure to add some drips to keep it original. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! LOL!
 
The blower motor was easier to leave in then to take the entire heater box out. Theres a trim ring that goes around it so you wont see any tape lines if I left any. Steering column was actually out for a while but I had to move the car around so I put it back in and didnt want to take the flaming river adapter back apart.

Thats what Im thinking. I dont think I'll be able to see most of them and dont think I care enough to fix the others.
 
Way to go Adam! Looks great. You can wet sand within a day or two if you want to but the problem with sanding is you'll have to buff it after, so you don't want to do it in tight areas where it's impossible to get in with a buffer. 1500 followed by 2000 is perfect if you do want to do it. You could go coarser if it's needed, I start with up to 1000 depending on how much OP there is. With runs you can take a one sided razor blade and carefully shave down the run before you sand, it's very hard to just sand out a run. Congrats :thumbup:
 
I think Im just going to leave them. They are i a easy spot to get to though.
 
As someone earlier mentioned, by the time everything is back in there you can only see so much so why worry about it. Anyway, looks great, glad it worked out so well for you.
