Looks good. The wire mod does so much for the engine bay.

I live near Todd he is a great guy invited me over and gave me a lesson on how polish. Polishing IMO makes a big difference and with a small investment in equipment it rewarding to know you did it yourself.

Looking good, and polishing isn't easy! I didn't realize you had that plate that goes in front of the pass. side head. Pretty neat...

Your red paint looks kinda dull. I'd get some Color X and take it to the fenders, then hit it up with your wax of choice. You'd be surprised how much some shiny fenders would brighten things up

Looks great.

Something I did was take a little brush and paint the spring black on the TB.
