Here is it ready and prepped for paint, the engine compartment.
I don't think it will get jammed (paint inside the doors and engine compartment) this weekend because we are afraid it might rain in the middle of painting, so we have post poned it for mon.

That's what zip loc baggies, a roll of masking tape(for labeling),and a sharpie pen, a digi cam, and a helms come into play. Even still with all of that it is intimidating, even though I do this kind or work for a living. I just pulled the motor out of a 96 cadillac that had less wires and connections.
