Default Engine Compartment - Shot from above

I am still waiting for my painter to send back the rubber grommets that hold the airbridge to the radiator shroud and the 4 metal clips that lock down the air boxes - he forgot to include them when he shipped back my painted pieces. I know it is my fault for not removing them before I sent the parts, but these last three days have been killing me. The weather was great today and I am ready to drive the car again for the first time in a month! Yes - until I charged it, my battery was dead too.....

That's, quite literally, a work of art

Looks like the engine has been tattood!

Cheers,

Are you the same Wayne I use to see at shows in Fredericksburg last year? I was driving the LeMans Blue C5 convertible with the MCM hood - see below:
