Compartment Detailing
|
When
people look at your Corvette they’ll sometimes ask you
“What’s she got under the hood?” Wouldn’t it be nice to respond
with, “Why don’t I show you?” Let us detail your engine compartment
and they won’t have a chance to ask. Because the hood will always

This particular car went through an engine
compartment restoration, the engine was removed and rebuilt, as were
it’s components. The carburetor, distributor, and alternator were all
rebuilt and reconditioned. However we will get similar results without
pulling your engine. The individual components are removed and
reconditioned but the engine stays in place. (You may have noticed that
we also replaced the single reservoir master cylinder with a dual master
cylinder. This has been a popular option with customers with 1963-66
Corvettes who wish to upgrade to the 1967 style dual reservoir master
cylinder.) |

Here we can see what the engine compartment
looks like before the detail work has been performed. There are many
different ways to detail your engine compartment and we will recommend a
way to get the most out of your dollar. Some cars just need a good
cleaning and some touch-up, others need a little more attention. Let us
know what your price range is and we will work with-in |

After the engine is pulled the engine
compartment is taped off and cleaned. Typically we will use engine
cleaner/degreaser and a power washer to get the majority of the dirt and
grime off. (Electrical components are sealed off or removed for there
protection) Then we will clean off any left over residue to ensure a
good surface for painting. |

Besides the cleaning and painting of the
engine compartment we also re-plated the hood latches and accelerator
arm. New a-arm dust shields, windshield wiper motor, battery and master
cylinder were also installed. |

Now that the engine compartment is detailed
lets take a look at the engine. |

This engine was completely rebuilt, all
components were either restored or replaced. Ceramic coating of exhaust
manifolds is highly recommended. (How many times have you seen a
beautiful engine compartment degraded by rusty manifolds?) The ceramic
coating not only looks great but helps reduce engine compartment heat as
well. |

Pictured here is a 1966 Corvette and this
was just one example of an under hood detail. Weather you have a 1953 or
a 2003 we can detail your Corvette so your proud to open up the hood and
“Show’em what she’s got.” If you have any questions regarding you’re
your particular application or about your Corvette in general feel free
to drop us an e-mail or call us. We’d love to talk about your project
and how we can make your car look even better. |
