Engine bay about 1/2 done.
Most recent mods include. Painting the washer and overflow tanks, SS trim on hood shocks, radiator fan, brake booster, all those hand cut and cost around $20 total. Braided hose covers, and chrome wire loom just added. Fender covers and caps were purchased online. Smoothie fuel rail covers bought on fleabay for $50 just painted and installed tonite, This week my cowl cover, fuel rail cover CORVETTE decals , underhood decal and battery area cover should be in. Still need to order radiator cover, alternator cover, intake manifold, air bridge, and various other dress up items needed before shows in 1 month. Here are just a few pics of the progress so far.

Looks great but the Fuel Rail covers need to be dressed up. They look a little plain.
