Re: under hood restoration complete!!
That engine bay is so nicely detailed. Boy, that's attention to detail. What is the high gloss black paint on the inner fenders if you don't mind me asking?

Great work! I especially like the double spring action for the throttle. Did you fab those looms up yourself?
