Yeah, the whole virus thing sucks. I had to take three weeks off before I got the green light to get back to work. Got a lot done on the Dart, but money was getting scarce.
The mailman!
Shoot. I keep hanging out with @70aarcuda and money will be getting scare too! But my car will be running 10's right?!
Crushed my tests today!
Now time to get this beast put back together! Tonight and tomorrow are going to be long ones!

Hey I'd ditch me for one of those hot dates too! I'll make sure I have everything on and ready to go for us when you get here.
My 1 can of spray paint 45 minute engine bay paint job. Already looks 100x better than it did. Hopefully I feel the same way about it in the morning. 
Looks good Doc. Pretty sure I invented that foil idea. LOL
I found another can of black spray paint and threw another coat over the bay. Looks better. New accessories, hoses and wire loom would make this engine bay look 100%
Doc your starting to get the hang of the rabbit hole, at some point you start to wonder is this how crack addicts get started. LOL
Keep going, its looking good, remember, draw that line, oh wait you did and crossed it. I am hopeful that since I am now working a flex work schedule I can pick up some pace here soon, just need to stop having issues.

No I didn't cross it. Painted remember that was it.. oh wait crossed it with the stupid motor mounts Haha.
I'm putting it back together right now though.
Drew a line,painted over it and drew another one.
That's the way of the professional, Doc is getting there
Dang. I forgot intake gaskets and exhaust gaskets. So heres where we got to so far. I'm going to go and get some gaskets right now and hopefully they will be here before tomorrow.
That's the way it goes with everyone working on their Mopars. Especially right now with the quarantine right?!
Picking these up first thing in the morning, then we will go back to work!
Um... I havent checked yet but this engine mount cant be right???
Also... how the F do you wrap these while in the car, no way, even me with my girls hand sizes cant get it wrapped.
Or maybe it's because I'm not good at wrapping a pipe up.... hence having 3 kids
My wife came in the garage earlier and saw my new valve cover cover. She goes "I thought you were painting these red?" Apparently she doesn't notice that they are a completely different and new valve cover

How do you wrap them ?
By unwrapping them. You don't need that ****.
Let those headers breath.

They dont look pretty. I have header heat wrap. The wrap looks better than the messed up paint
Looks good!
Nope my colors are spot on. Red motor mounts (picture looks orange though), red engine, red heads. Engine metallic timing cover, intake, dampener and water pump. Then all the pulleys, and fans will be black.
I get that the factory sprayed everything 1 color but I didnt want to do that. Looked at pictures on FABO and the engines I liked most had engine/heads painted then silver/chrome accessories so that's what I am trying to do.
