1 carb and 5 fuel lines coming out of the valve, that’s a lot going on. But I like it I take my hat off to anyone willing to hotrod our fox’s excluding stangs. And it looks good, he did it right as long as he’s happy, its his car.

personally i like the color, needs some satin black here and there to break it up. The engine bay is more confusing than my stock '83 cfi setup was.

I could do without the color, but like I said, I like the hood.  Would look killer on my car after I painted it to match (in black!) IMHO, LOL!

  On top of the junctions every 4 inches as well.

It has a GREAT stance too.

Excessive fittings aside (& does he really have the power to need an engine plate?), it does make me want to pull my engine and paint the engine bay black. When I show the car I'm always dissapointed at the "blah" look of the faded cabernet red in the engine compartment.

I don't really care for the color, hood, or the schizofrenic plumbing job, but I do like the BBF under the hood.

Those fittings look pretty functional to me. The only place it gets a little cluttered is where there's a filter in the line.:dunno:

Lime green.... well, it's not my car.

I have never been a fan of cowl hoods.

Seriously, it doesn't look too bad. It does need some black in it to break it up a bit. I would have changed the colors in the engine to match the body better, adding black there too.

The owner will definitely get some oohs and ahhs at shows. Maybe not from serious car enthusiasts, but from the general public, I'm sure there are those out there who will like it.

And, as was mentioned, it's not any of our cars...so, if the owner likes it, who cares?
