[63_Rouss_Fire_Co_GMC]

Trying to include a lot here so I don't have too many emails goin' out. So, after the body was off, I had cleaned what I could off the frame. Its was time to pull the motor so get to the built up gunk under the trans and on the control arms. First photo is the V6 pulled from the frame. It was so much easier to clean this way and you wouldn't believe how much grease was built up on the SM420. Used a wire brush, cleaners and degreasers and finally paint remover on the engine and trans. The next set of photos are just a quick look at the engines progress throught the paint stages and reassembly. Ended up using a red/orange paint for the V6. Back to the frame after lots and lots of brushing surface rust and dirt off, it was finally clean for paint. Used Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator instead of the Por-15. Turned out good and went a long way, finished up with Eastwood's Original Chassis Black. Other colors on seperate parts of the frame and engine/trans. Had to take off and redo the large tow hooks at the front of the frame.
