Default Engine Bay Pics!!!
Here's 2 coats of Primer, gotta block sand it, then shoot another coat, sand, then 3 coats of color, sanding inbetween, and then same with the clear...The cage is ordered, carpet ordered 1500 series!! and 100 sq ft of Dynamat Extreme...

Pop quiz,
Notice the + & - posts are gone, strut tower seams are gone, frame rails filled, and the hood strut mounts are formed with the chassis now...

Looks great!

Are you the least bit concerned about the seams cracking due to chassis flex? Or is this primarily a show car?

Well I'll have a Wolfe 6pt Cage, SLP DD SFC's, and a Hotchkis STB, so it shouldn't flex all that much but it has crossed my mind a time or two...
