Clean & Paint the Engine Compartment

Star date 12/21/08. The real fun begins. There is nothing like degreasing an engine compartment. This one was really greasy and grimy. I removed the flaps that were between the engine compartment and the wheel wells. These were in bad shape; how I dealt with these will be covered in a later post. So, a lot of degreasing spray and mineral spirits later, not to mention wire brushing, it was starting to look better. This was not one of my favorite parts of the conversion process. Once everything was nice and shiny, it was time to paint. Rustoleum was the chosen brand. It seemed to turn out well. Not much else exciting to tell in this post, so we will keep moving forward!
