I think the engine bay paint is absolutely beautiful. It's stunning really. Although I think you should have chosen a different engine color.

Looks great man!

As for the spacers for the strut towers, I would think they were to add a little more suspension travel by moving the strut mount up farther.

Exactly right. This car is equipped with full suspension mods... in addition to the engine and appearance.

Yeah... I wasn't sure about the colour until I saw about 6 cars at Autorama painted PPG sunset red.

Thanks for all of the kind words guys!

No PCV... I don't want that crap in my manifold. I've done it before... and I know what the consequences are. I have enough baffling in there that there won't be oil spraying out.

And I will be changing the oil every 2-3 weeks during the season.

Ive seen a few race cars that route the PCV from the valve covers to the header collector. It just sucks the blowby out and burns it. Pretty tidy if you use steel braided line.

Fantastic Job on the engine compartment. I agree the engine color is too close, though, and would have been more striking with more contrast, but its still miles ahead of anything I've ever owned. Kudos:hail:
