You engine bay looks great cicconjo. 
But I'm kind of curious why you went through the effort to go back to the stock look and then put a flexible radiator hose on it? That's the only item that looks out of place to me.
Don't get me wrong, you did a great job.
But you should definitely put an O.E. style hose on there.

I picked the valve covers up on Ebay from speed unlimited. Here is a current auction the same people have for them.

With the stock hood it touched the insulator and wore a hole in it with the chrome GM performance lid.

I have the stock hood with a one inch spacer under the quad. But the bow tie was rubbing to much on the fiberglass, before I installed the rubber insulator. Also, How did you mount your speaker boxes up like that? I want to do that to mine, so I do not always have to use the rear luggage rack to hold the t-tops.
