You obviously don't get what I meant.

I wanted pictures of cars with the front clip stripped down and painted before re-assembly i.e. engine swap, suspension swaps, etc. I'm trying to get an idea of what to do before I tear my EG front apart to build the motor and paint the front subframe, radiator support, etc.

Yea, that's what I was looking for. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to paint the engine bay and such on the car. Anything that won't be seen I want to undercoat instead of paint.

What my goal was is to paint the engine bay flat black. From the looks of it, I will end up painting the inner fender wells, firewall, and top of the radiator support flat black and doing the rest in undercoating. I just wanted to see some pictures of what the front end looked like when it was all stripped down so I could get an idea.

Well, I've got enough of an idea of how I'm going to do things. I guess once I get my own car stripped down and see for myself then I have an idea of how to go about doing it. Thanks guys.
