Great work so far!

 

Good job!! J.C

 

I would watch putting vinyl letters under the hood. The heat from engine may mess them up. My uncle owns a sign shop, so I know how vinyl reacts to high heat. Just a suggestion.

 

BHodges224, ah that would be true if I were getting them from Walmart or placing them directly on the motor. But these letters are made specifically for under the Hood to go on your engine cover. Which stays Farley cool compared to the engine itself!

 

Why dont you just repaint the lettering

 

Hi Mel, I thought about painting the letters myself but then I realized I failed "Painting Inside the Lines" in Kindergarten! Lol
Plus, at just over Half a Century, my eyes just ain't what they use to be. Getting the lettering is the best way for me. But I do wonder if other members who have used them have had any problems due to Heat or fluids getting on them. At any rate I'm not doing anything more with it until I get my trans and exhaust done. So I've got some time.

 

Just sent it to me I will take care of that for you.

 

Looks good so far. It is a lot of work keeping it clean and shiny under the hood. Especially on a daily driver here in Michigan

 

It's hard time keep it clean here in Jersey too Lou. The through a lit more salt in the roads than they need too. We would work hard to keep our Montes clean no matter what. We Love our cars.

Mel, what would you do, and what would it cost my. I haven't even thought of a colour scheme. I think it is going to depend on what color hoses and spark plug wires I can get! But I was thinking Blue, Black and Yellow.
