Cleaned up my Engine Bay
« on: October 29, 2016, 03:16:38 PM »
Deleted a bunch of stuff and re-routed wires. Tried to use only aluminum--no chrome. I had to tear everything down to replace the intake and figured might as well make it look a little nicer. Ordered some rattle-can paint in the GM original color for the firewall. Need to weld up a bunch of unused holes but I'm generally pleased.

It looks very tidy and clean and well laid out.  I approve.   ;)

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Very nice!  The aluminum looks so much nicer than chrome, IMO.   Hard to believe that firewall is rattle canned.  Great job!
