    Radiator Hold Down and MAP Sensor Bracket Painted

    Pulled and painted the MAP sensor bracket Aluminum as well as the radiator hold downs. Originally the hold downs were to be painted low gloss black, but while looking over the engine bay I decided that they would look better aluminum.

    Hold down after primer color and clear





    The hold downs hardware painted low gloss b lack then cleared



    And the MAP sensor bracket

        Got my painted bits installed this morning. I like it. It seems to brighten up the engine bay.







        And the complete power steering cooler/hose set all painted and ready to go on the car.

            Oh snap. I just found the tag Pesty351 added. Low blow lol. I know this a long drawn out project but hopefully there is an end in sight.

            EDIT: In other news...I have these on the way
            Walker Reducer - 2-1/2" OD - 2-1/4" ID, 4-1/2" OAL

            I am happy...but I seemed to have requested next day shipment on them which bites ass because that is around 15 dollars for less than 10 dollars worth of pipe. But At any rate I will try to get these mufflers up now that I have these adapters on the way.

                I think the 'watching paint dry' tag was meant literally. You are painting alot...

                But, I will go ahead and give you a jab, just because...

                Are you marrying this project?

                Its good, though. I always take my time and do my research, so that I am happy with the end result of any project.

                EDIT: There, I added another tag for you.

                          No exhaust work done this weekend. The weather was perfect for bodywork so that is what I did. Making sure that everything is addressed on the car before paint day. I do want my rumbly rumbly installed though. Maybe next week you say?.....well probably not then either as my grandmother from Germany is coming and I think it would be rude for my father and I to go work on the car while she is here...so maybe the week after that?!
