Clean up started
 

Started to clean all the engine brackets up today for the CTX motor. Still waiting to hear from the machine shop on the results on it to see if it can be rebuilt. Trying to decide if I want to paint them or have them powder coated. Also cleaned up my 4 speed cross member I got a few years ago. I will have it powder coated to match the frame.

RAy:

When I was Cruisin the Coast last week, I looked at a 66 Impala that the owner said he had powder coated the brackets, hood hinges, and hood latch. They looked great and he seemed to indicate they had been coated for some time. If they hold up that good, I may go that route as I redo my engine bay.
