Default Engine bay clean up

Spent some time this winter making the engine bay look better. Have to remake the PCM cover but pretty happy with the results.

It's at The Hub in Auburn Hills, which is the old Big Buck Brewery. It's across I-75 from Chrysler HQ.


Sorry to go off topic on your thread, Craig.

Yep okay I remember this now. Almost forgot about it. Really sucks that they can't do Bakers anymore. It's a great place for car shows

Since a few of you are in the Waterford area we should try and do Bakers one of these Sundays. If anyone is interested let me know. I go there quite a bit

If you all wanna settle on a particular date just let me know. As long as the weather is good I'm usually open for most Sundays. Show is roughly 12 to 6, but peak hours are more like 2 to 4 in general

Where the air pump used to be. I cut a small section out put a hose around the hole and shoved it down. It's not as perfect as I would love to have done but it looks better. I then make a few cover plates to hide the wires.
