[DeTomaso] Engine compartment finish

[John McKee]

Lynn,
I am attaching a couple of photos of my engine bay, one showing the
smoothing process underway and then the finished product (not that great of
picture).
The body work was handled by Tom's Custom Autobody who had painted many of
the higher end jobs for all of the Southern California vendors in the past.
The guys hands you see in the picture I believe had worked for Hall and
Wilkinson in the past. So, the collective knowledge of what holes to fill
and not to fill should have been on the fairly confident side....
It looks fantastic, I just need to get it all of the loud parts back in
there.

John

Subject: [DeTomaso] Engine compartment finish

All, 

 

I am in the process of finishing my engine compartment.  I am going to make
it smooth and fill any unnecessary holes.  After which I intend to either
put a nice textured finish on it or just regular paint (body color).  I have
not decided yet

 

My question is do conservatives or liberals have the best ideas for this.
Oh wait, that wasn't the question (sorry, hopefully you are laughing).  The
REAL question is:  does anyone have advice regarding which holes to fill?
For example the large hole under the engine compartment brace, as well as
others.  I don't want to fill a hole that I may need or one that makes
service easy.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated regarding the holes, not the other
topic. :>)

 

Lynn ( for those of you not laughing, sorry.  I already hit my knuckles with
a ruler)
