#1 Rack and pinion bushings.

#2 Anti Sway bar, the end links/bushings are missing. You can buy new polyurethane ones at most auto parts stores.

#3 The blue marks appears to be an idler arm or something like that that connects to a tie rod from the rack and pinion. Ya sandblasting it would be best to clean it. You can find some local sandblasters on Craigslist who can do it on the vehicle and for a good price.

#4 The air cleaner looks good. Good job on painting it. LOL My paint job wouldn't come out that nice.

#5 You got to match the garage to the truck, its a mechanics thing. We all do it, although not those colors but you got your own style. Keep up the good work.

Colouring matching is very essential.
My truck is(was) covered in oil from my various fixes.
My shop was the same lol

And I hope you plan on painting your valve covers pink to lol :P

Ok i will try to get a hold on those bushings.
Yea maybe its easier to sandblast them without removing them..
And it was not me who painted the air cleaner =)

Yea if the valve covers can be painted with normal paint and no special heat stading paint then i can get them painted in the same colour.

You'll want to use a heat resistant paint for the valve covers.
