    Not much left to remove before I can finish cleaning up the engine compartment for fresh paint on my 73 Grabber. I have to fix up the hacked shock tower, one side only (lucky) and 2 of the 3 hood hinge nuts on the passenger side are missing.Hopefully have it done this week.

    Looking good and will pay off.

    I redid my mustang engine bay when I got it.
    It wasnt in bad shape. but when I pulled the 2.3 and the 4 speed i cleaned up all the grease and repainted the tranny tunnel up to the firewall and the shock towers.
    I wish I coulda took everything out but its a driver not a show car. Still looks nice just not show quality

    Looks like your taking your time and doing it right and it will pay off
