Engine Compartment Almost Complete!

Driving season is finally here so no more mods until next winter... Thanks to Forum Vendors like Paula, Ed @ Pipedreams, and RPI, I've finally got the engine compartment cleaned up..

Couldn't resist a few pics after getting some final installs done today (have to get some better background scenery than my garage when the sun finally comes out):

I have one on order from Ed... it should fit. He did a great job with the chrome engine caps, plenum cover, booster cover, and alternator cover. All of Ed's stuff is always top shelf!
