It's nice to see that you went the extra mile to have your engine bay match the car. Nice job.

sorry bro, I think I'm still high on paint fumes...

Guys I'll post more pics later, but you guys should see the porting jobs Jonathan has been doing on my motor (manifolds)... Just awesome... Not to mention he puts up with my never-ending stupid questions... oh yeah and he lets me borrow his Matco tools!

P.S. and I promise when we're done with my car I'll finish the website!

To all of you with the kind words, Thank you! It's rewarding to have work appreciated by your peers.

Looks outstanding.
And +1 on the dedication. Most people don't appreciate how much surface area there is under the hood....until they do a project like that. Definitely tedious work.
