EV Pusher - Jacques-O'Lantern

 

BOO!

 

So...it's not like I decided to paint my engine orange without a good reason. When the automatic transmission arrived, the torque converter was already orange, mostly greasy and dinged up. I decided to repaint it the same color, because I didn't want to thoroughly sand and strip it, and I thought that the new orange paint would look less out-of-place when the inevitable chips and flakes of the new paint revealed the original color.

Once I had the converter all nice and shiny with the new paint, the similarity to a pumpkin was unmistakable. Of course, the rest of the engine has a number of black accessories, and I had a half can of orange spray paint left over, so I decided to coat the engine block in the same color and create a theme of fall colors.

There you have it, some things just work themselves out with very little of my help.
