Default Back in (under) the Hood!

My fuel rail smoothies came in today. Now waiting for the fender covers to arrive.
Want to make a smooth transition from the outside to under the hood.

Nice job, David!

I'm working on my engine compartment too! Where did you get your Fender Well covers?

Looks nice! Almost went with silver under the hood too, but the wife wanted electron blue and said OK to do it.

You can also get the items from www.vetteshop.cc. Ken is a great guy to deal with.
