It was at a local ATL meet.

The guy walked away right before I took the pic. I don't know if I could have kept a straight-face if I tried to talk to him. Wish I took a pic of the car cause it only got better...or worse, just depends on your sense of humor I guess.

[QUOTE=Teha99;9821019]Its a Start...

any project is, just keep piecing away, i recommend a wire tuck, polished manifold, strut bar, rad cooling plate and a ton of engine degreaser along with a good wipe down and you should have a pretty nicely done up engine bay, unless you wanna get carried away with all chrome! ha but that will take alot of time and effort to accomplish, but a good start.

You can start off by buying the correct hardware to mount the bumper and remove the little "snorkel" for the intake rather than tie wrap it. I'd recommend not using a super abrasive degreaser on the engine itself because it'll start to oxidize the aluminum and it'll start turning white. For the time being unbolt the bolts on the radiator support(one by one) and clean them up with a copper wire brush, it won't take much of the metal off so it's not going to rust but the process will clean up the bolts. "wipe and shine" products go a long way in the engine bay because they don't leave much of a residue but remember not to use a "spray wax" which people get confused... that leaves residue and turns white.

For the black, try to stay a way from anything that really oily. Oil attracts dirt and it becomes a PITA to clean later. Good luck.
