cleaning up engine bay

[BadBird505]

pulled the valve covers and coils, going to take the covers and coil brackets have them glass beaded, having the rear sway bar end link mounting brackets sand blasted, sending them out to be powder coated. the covers and rear brackets will be red, the coil brackets silver, and the coils red.I will be rewrapping all the wires in black heat resistant tape. the rear will be getting coated in rust bullet paint. also installing a new rear sway bar

here are some pics of the progress





still working on sanding and prepping the rear housing. more pics to come as i make progress

I would paint the intake gloss black, paint the fuel rails then get rid of the red wire loom and do them in a gloss black loom. To much color on wire loom takes away from the engine bay.

i'm getting rid of all the red loom, actually looking into having my valve covers,coil brackets,fuel rail,and a few other small parts chrome plated

Chrome can look good but everything under the hood has to be chrome. How about a red/chrome setup?
I could see red/anodized valve covers with black coil brackets,Gloss black intake, anodized red fuel rails, red or black water pump. Polish the AC system.

Just giving idea's of what I've seen.

that color combo is actually on my list, i'm talking to a few places right now that do this kind of work, just slowly picking away at these thing as i have a very tight budget. hopefully it will be all done in a few week
