Show us your cleaned up engine bay!

[tirwin]

We've all seen them and drooled over them. The really nice engine bays where everything is neat and tidy, like the Singers. I don't think there is a thread that has attempted to put all the cleaned up engine bays in one thread so I thought it might be fun.

Let's see your before and after pics. Tell us what things you did like backdating heat, converting to carbs, removing the A/C, replacing the ducting, powder coating parts, plating parts, ...

If you've done something innovative or something you're just proud of, let us know quantities and where you sourced the components. Many people know about Aircraft Spruce for SCAT ducting but not everyone does.

Here's my little contribution to get things started. I bought a 4-fuse ATO panel from fellow Pelican Fred Cook to replace the ceramic style. I know this will be hidden behind the cover but it still looks better. It was a good opportunity to clean up the corrosion off the wire ends and crimp on new connectors with some shrink tube.

Alright... Let's see what you've got!

It's hard to notice, but there is a lot less oil under the car these days too.

Here is my stock before and after. (All I did was replaced my heater duct and air cleaner decal, and a little degreaser, WD40 and Armor All...)

This is my recently built 3.3SS in a 1980 SC coupe. It is running 10.1:1 Mahle pistons, LN Engineering 100mm cylinders, Carrera twin plug heads, 964 cams, large port CIS injection and Electromotive XDi direct fire ignition. Note all the room where the distributor used to be located!
