Your car has got to be clean enough to eat off of.

I'm wondering why your putting the tubing on at all, not to mention on the AIR pump.. it's your car, do what you want, but that tubing is widely considered to clutter the engine bay aka not look good..

BTW your car seems amazingly clean and nice

Take that it off & your EGR as well (of its still on), you'll have more room to work with.

Billy do you show the car? And if so how do you show off the work that you have done under the car (lift it, mirrors???) The next stage on my car will be doing the undercarriage at least close to the way you have done yours, but even now with what I have done NO BODY really ever sees it so it almost seems like a waiste of time and money. So any help with motivating me would be great.

well i haven't shown the car it more of a self satisfaction,hobby and it's because i have a quick lift and it so easy to do all the cleaning/polishing, now if i had $$$$$$$$ like you 97ramsst then i'd follow your lead !!!! lol but it seems to draw a lot of attention .,and ramps and mirror would be the way to go. and add to their imagination but that som t/a you have is # 1. hands down ,. billyb.
