Very cool. Not sure what else you can add to it but am anxious to see the new mods. I'm sure you already know this but be careful of the direction you park at shows. With those mirrors on you hood the sun reflection will bake your engine parts.

Very nice work on the engine bay. Very clean
Is your alternator and bracket polished or chromed?

Thanks for the compliments!
@ olbear1962.... The alternator was polished. (I took it to a shop and had them take it apart for me, then brought it to a polisher. Once it was done I had the shop put it back to gether, but the cleaned /replaced old parts for new. The whole process was probably around $200.)
As for the bracket, that was a cover piece I got from Creative Engine Covers. A little tricky to put on, but well worth it!

@ DA1984VETTE... I got those covers from Mid America. I've had them for a while and I'm toying with the idea of getting the flat covers just because I think the contrast will break up the engine a little.
