Default detailing engine bay.

Still working on my 76 engine bay and would appreciate it if any of you guys could put some pics up of your own detailed engine bay, chrome etc. to give me inspirations to crack on with mine and get it done in time for summer. The car is factory original.

Many thanks.

Jamie

WOW!
All these look way too cool but the blown LS takes first prize! I'd like to see more pics of that ride.

Not very good photos. Not a numbers matching, or a stock look but I'm proud of the work I did on my 1970 "Driver"!
