    Took out the power steering rack (mustang II front end) to be repaired, hopefully, after stripping the thread trying to stop a leaking hose.

    That's what I was going for with this car, I just couldn't go with all blue... needed some accent color in there to spice it up. The big aluminum intake plenum and accessory brackets will be white with some other parts painted various blue and red. Engine will look better than the rest of the car for quite some time.....Can't wait to see it sitting in the engine bay.

    Cool idea, maybe some dry ice would help getting the undercoating off
