thanks guys, all of the stuff under there that didnt get painted will get touched up with rattle can. Its really hard to crawl around(even with everything out) in the engine compartment with an air line and a hvlp spray gun and not get in the wet paint. the pictures dont show the amount of work it took to get it to the point of painting, but that work should have taken at least 2 days... Im sooo ready to get this thing back together!!!
