Do your self a favor if your bay was as nasty as mine, when your motor is out... take everything else off, CLEAN, SCUFF, PAINT! Looks good I think.

Hey, good job bud. Looks like you should get rid of a few of those nasty wires (if you can).

I removed everything wire related in my bay, except 2 or 3 (alt wire, oil gauge wire, ect). Looks sooooooo good, like a 1967 Camaro bay, clean, nothing but motor and brakes.

anyway, looks real clean, great job, makes you feel much better I am sure!

I've gotten rid of quite a bit. Got rid of all the AC stuff, but all the other wires are functional. But looks good with the half red half black convoluted tubing. Thanks for the compliments guys!
