Cool Engine Cleanup

I finally got the engine bay straightened up a bit, still lots left to do (always is, right?). Heres a before and a few after. Thanks to Wes at Classic Heartbeat for the radiator cover.

BEFORE:




I finally worked up the courage to change to an internal regulator. That was too easy. Thanks to toddtheodd for that awesome write up



Billet wire looms from Summit

Nice work, the rad cover and wire looms sure make a difference.

Nice cleanup. OK tell me where you got the radiator cover and upper brackets. Did you change the altenator or did you clean it up and convert it yourself?

I got the cover from Wes at Classic Heartbeat, and I sanded and painted the old brackets myself. I got the alternator from summit and converted it myself.

Yeah, I'm on the radcover bandwagon, too. Great look. How close do the outer edges come to the radiator tanks?
