Fresh cadmium plating goes a long way.....

'bling' is best kept around the driver's neck, not in the bay!

Had I the budget, I'd have done fresh cad plating and nothing else different.

Subtle, clean, and classy engine bays > flashy chrome/polished bays

Whatever you do, don't do this

Did someone say bling.

Clean and needing a second look to give up its secrets is how I like it.....

This project started out as a fuel line replacement. Mission creep ensued.

Here is how I did it. Lots of parts that were crowded in got removed. If I open the engine cover there is always a conversation. And, it goes faster now! I agree with other comments that the stock engine bays look best by being cleaned and left understated.
