One of the best if not the best engine treatment I've ever seen. It is extremely difficult to change that much without looking gawdy. Your picture there is pure art! Now make it happen for real! I look forward to seeing it in a magazine!

I saw your fuel rail covers in a previous post. Don't sell yourself short it takes vision to put that engine bay design together. Your design is busy, but ties in well together. I really like it.

Look forward to seeing the reality of your vision soon!

Cya!
