clean it with simple green, pressure wash it, then some degreaser and a wire brush to get the rest... then finish it all of with a few cans of carb cleaner


Or just spray'er down with aircraft remover, then pressure wash

lol its not for show but im crazy about having a clean car ...but i figured that since it was out and i was building it up, i might as well make it look sexy, the paint sound like a good idea i just want it to look like its new.

Lol no need to bash, you may find that sarcasm is rather difficult to detect via the internet, and +1 for matt sticking up for me...and everyone else

EDIT: as for info on the future set up i plan to use eagle rods and cp pistons, unless i come across on a deal for pistons, then i will use some sparks racing rods and whatever good deal i find on pistons (then throw that block in till i blow it up and build up my other block that i'll have left over with expensive stuff, it's 800 for eagle and cp and if i get a deal its 225 for the spark's rods and 250ish for good deal on pistons. i saw a set of srp's selling on ht but chris looks like he is after them and they don't have pins so i don't see it as a good deal.

anyway the current planned set up is a bult bottom end with those parts, ....and everything else i have, just about...

set up will include precision sc50 .48/.60 stage 3 wheel 360 degree bearings, a tnt/drag looking manifold (first item i bought, will prob switch to blox later on) a deltagate (taking the chance, will switch to tial if it creeps) johnnyrace car fmic, rc 440 injectors (thanks to mike) 255 holly fuel pump (thanks to john) um... uberdata soon to be thanks to kj (as soon as i stop being lazy)and dave and of course blake....um.. act extreme pressure plate, lightly reworked head, full ic pipe kit from spoolin performance...and kteller exhaust 3" with magniflow muffler (mild not stainless) my goals are still 250 whp which im positive i'll make with ease....then i want to learn to tune, so i plan on buying a eprom burner and paying very close attention to dave ...oh yeah s80 lsd tranny is on the boat on its way here and that should about cover it...im sure i missed a few things...anyway once i learn to tune i'll turn up the boost a little bit and make around 280ish and keep it nice and safe...until the bug hits me and i blow it.
