[DMCForum] Re: Engine Bay Touch Up

["brandelorean" <brandelorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Greg,

Luckily the frame was really in good condition and I figured I'd do 
it now when the frame was in good condition than later when it might 
be worthless.  I went with black because I had a few things done in 
Near Chrome and black was definitely the way to go.  As for semi-
gloss black, I went that direction because a lot of the hot rodders 
and restorers like using the semi-gloss because it doesn't show 
scratches or finger prints as easily as gloss does and really looks 
sharp.  I used POR 15 in all the holes and made sure to coat every 
corner, a couple of times.  

I'm using the Eagle Premier engine there and decided while tons of 
other parts were being powdercoated to have the valve covers, intake, 
y pipe, and heater core pipes done at the same time.  I simply 
painted the block black using an engine semi-gloss black paint and 
painted the exhaust manifolds an aluminum ceramic silver color (very 
high temp of course) that looks pretty close to the near chrome.  

I figure if it looks good, it has to run good....right?  Well we'll 
see lol but luckily this engine only had 25k miles on it when pulled 
and so, based on reliability, should last quite a while.  Once I can 
save up enough I may go for a different engine swap or who 
knows...get another D?  I'd definitely like a black, gas flap, manual 
to have some fun with :)

I've loved Deloreans since I was forever young and it feels good 
knowing every bit and piece behind it.  I'm very excited about this 
week because the car will finally be one piece and we'll have tons of 
extra room to get things done faster.  It's been almost 6 months with 
the frame and body taking up both spaces in the garage.

Can't wait!
