Hmmm. The engine compartment is brushed on por 15. The trunklid is sprayed the exact same color as the vehicle which is Ferrari Red. I also have the 2 stainless steel mirrors for viewing the engine. The trunk is not missing, I have the stock carpet and everything there just sprayed dyed black. The exhaust is a stock Borla 2" exhaust. Later.

Yep. The car will be dark metallic green when done. I tried a spray bomb in there but it was just too darn dark to see. Just before the motor goes in for the last time (hopefully) I'll redo it so it's not quite so ...errrrr... bright.
Lost the trunk floor, probably the only solid part back there, but them's the breaks.
Body colour in the bay is sweet.

Nitro. That is the look I want. How did you get the engine comaprtment paint to look so clean and flawless what paint did you use and the heat reflective shielding on the firewall was that something you made or did you buy it made
thanks dan

We painted the entire frame as you probably saw on the website. My dad painted it with PPG something, I wanna say PPG DP something. Can't remember, I can check if you want.
The heat shielding was just some generic heat insulation I picked up at a home improvement store. Had alot of uses listed on the packaging and automotive was one. I took the old fiberglass firewall and cut it alll up by hand. Had some hi-temp tape very similar to the hi-temp heat shielding paint rodney dickman sells to wrap around all the cuts and edges to keep the insulation on the other side from being exposed.
My AOL SN is nitroteen if you ever wanna pop on and ask me some questions.

Well its not a V-8 but here is the Pictures I just took of my Duke. Not the best looking one out there but its still Bone Stock. Note I ran the hose down from the Valve Cover to under the engine... I was sick of the Dirt Filled oil ending up in my Air Cleaner.

I love this engine bay! Truly one of the nicest I have seen. Clem keeps it this clean, always.
Hey Clem. We're gonna have to trade keys for a few minutes when you get here for the keys run.
