    I don't see anything that needs hiding. That is one clean engine bay. Do you have pics of the whole car? Would like to see them.
    Thanks;)

    That battery shelf makes a good MSD mount doesn't it.
    Did the same to mine when the battery went in the trunk. Couldn't ask for a more convienent spot.
    Your car looks great. Super job.
    Makes me miss my old Sprint. I never would have had the tools or patients to make it as cherry as yours though. I hope it has a good home today. :(

    Let me try again......there was a guy at the round-up that did his engine bay in that splatter paint, I thought it looked pretty cool.

    I dont remember one at the roundup but there was one at Carlisle a few years ago. His looked like crap because it was grease stained. Looked like the stuff absorbes oil like a sponge. I would recommend putting a clear coat on it to seal it up.

    Another vote...

    Mine is body color, 2B Bright Red. The radiator support and all.


    Splatter Paint? That is for trunks. If I were gonna do that, I would spray it with the flat black bedliner paint. At least you would have a hard time scratching it.
