'50 Chevy Convertible Engine Bay...

Since the motor was out of the car and the front end was still raw steel, we decided to tidy the engine compartment up a bit and paint it with Summit Satin Chassis Black.  We've used the Summit Racing brand paint in the past and it is pretty impressive.  It sticks to anything, it is a very tough finish and you can spill brake fluid on it and not hurt it.

Before we could paint though, there was a bit of rust to take care of...

I formed some 18ga over a dolly and post to get the approximate shape then cut out the rusty part...

After a bit of weld and grinding...

It's all ready for paint...

It always looks better when it is all the same color...

Love the contrast...still have to do something with the spark plug wires...
