The Beast has gotten a good wash and a painted air box. It looks much nicer in the engine bay and on the outside. I still have a couple areas I want to touch up on the box but it is lookin' great now that all the chipping and peeling has been smoothed and painted. The semi-gloss was a good choice; it looks exactly like it did before but cleaner. I also went out to Lowe's and picked up some black nuts, bolts and rubber washers for reassembly. Would have been a shame to put it back together with rusty, crusty old hardware after the nice paint job. I think I will also do the AFM black if I can get it cleaned up well and I've also been debating about doing the intake manifold in the same black.
With the winter rolling around I want to get the rust fixed up and possibly get some polish and paint sealant on...but we will see how things go.
I have some pictures taken but have not uploaded them as yet. I will make a post in the next few days when I get those ready.
