Great work (and by the pics, a ton of it).  Smoothing the engine bay really makes it pop!

The finished product is going to be awesome.  I'd love to tear my car down and do this someday...probably 30 years from now when I retire, lol.  If you weren't so far north I'd come check this out myself!

Thanks guys. I'm crossing fingers, toes, and eyes...... no, maybe I shouldn't do that one lol, that it turns out looking like I intend it to.
