Engine bay clean up for the Ratmaro! (1969 Camaro)

In this episode we clean and paint the engine bay in our 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, known as the "Ratmaro". Of course, we have no idea what we are prepping it for just yet, Chevy small block? Big block? LS power? Either way since our first gen Camaro is currently void of an engine and transmission, seems like the perfect time to get some cleaning and painting done right?
Special thanks to Parker with @backyardbarnfinds for his help identifying the original details of this classic muscle car!

Mine was built on January 10,1969 and she was a plain jane also

[@davidz5341]

The Ratmaro is looking great so far.

[@hammersgarage]

Thank you!

[@Boobtube.]

keep plugging away at it. Just put a 350 in it, with a mild cam to give it that sweet music, and call it a day.

[@freshbutplain1144]

Looking good!

[@hammersgarage]

Much appreciated!

Fasteners on the firewall may have been for an MSD ignition box

[@user-pt2px8sr6t]

I just dig your artistic patch work awesome stuff. Keep up the good work

[@pumpr64]

Nice find, she definitely needs some work and love, keep up the good work! My guess on the firewall plate is a cover for factory A/C components that were removed??

[@hammersgarage]

Factory heat box at least! Thanks for watching!

[@gvxclassics]

I woulda painted my legs doing what you did. So, I wear pants. Looks nice.

Probably first week of December 1968...

[@jaxjax5322]

[@user-lz7jq5hu2v]

[@hammersgarage]
