engine clean up and detail whatcha think
I repainted the wheel wells and relocated all the grounds that were located on the wheel wells, then I filled the holes. I also relocated the grounds on the front cross beam on either side of the lid. Did the wire mod and also did the samething to the hood latch cable as well. I polished the stock valve covers, the throttle body, the maf, the battery hold down, the break lines, and the tensioner. I made a cover for the computer. Changed out a buch of bolts to stainlesssteel. Relocated the original ramair box sticker to the mti lid.
I cleaned up all the wiring and condensed as much as I could to reduce cluter. I tried to make it look like it could have came from the factory. What do you guys think.

Yeah there is no cruise control, air conditioner, heater, emissions, power steering, and lots of other weight reduction.
My goal was to create a stripper that looked like a factory made deal. People who don't know the underhood of a fbody can't even imagine the work that went into making it look like it does. I put it next to a stock car and it is like night and day the difference in the lack of clutter. It is also a heck of a lot easier to work on and to keep clean.

I used bondo, I however had one hole pop out in one of the holes that was not threaded (the ones with threaded holes will hold the bondo) so I took an allan head stainless bolt sanded it and painted it, then bolted it through the hole with a locking nut. If you look close on the passenger side wheel well you will see it, most people don't even notice it.
