Super nice!

(And "close enough" I could come "stalk" it, in person) !!

Keep that garage door locked !

Seriously, Nice to see an actual engine when you lift the hood. Not like today's cars, that's for sure. . .

Wish I had your entire engine bay in my car. Thanks for the look at it.

So that's what the A.I.R, aka smog pump, looks like...? Thinking I've only seen parts diagrams of those so far.
