I noticed that most early M cars had red radiator fans...  So, as homage to the early M cars, I decided to paint my rad fan red with some really cool Rustoleum Plastic coat paint when I replaced the fan clutch.  

Is my radiator fan sexy or what???  :cool:

Ah, it's a 20 footer.  Looks good from a distance.  I just spray bombed the whole engine bay when I had the motor out.  Not the best paintjob in the world, but I had rust in there I was trying to get rid of.  

In retrospect, I wish I'd have paid someone who's good at laying paint and had a real spray gun to come in and put on a few coats after I did the prep work...   I was doing it on the cheap though.  

Thanks for the compliments though!!!  :D

To complete my homage to the early M-cars, I'm going to eventually have the valve cover and intake manifold powder coated in black wrinkle coat.  That's for another time down the road, however.  :rolleyes:

In stock car racing it's a 50 footer!
