Painting Engine Bay!

Wow, that looks fantastic! If mine comes out half as good as that I'll be happy.

I managed to start sand-blasting this weekend. I got about 2/3's through it before the weather started to turn, so the car is back in the garage. I think I have about another 2 or 3 hours before the stripping is done. I was surprised how quickly that process works. There's going to be a few spots that will need some light sanding and smoothing, but if all goes well it should be ready for priming very soon. Thanks for the advice and help so far.
