Re: Engine compartment transformed in 12 days
WOW man... That is the best engine compartment I have seen in a very long time... CLEAN, STOCK and SIMPLE. A job VERY WELL DONE... Kudos to you for tackling it and making it look new again.

I'd LOVE to drive it... Great work Yezzi... Did you relocate the build sticker that goes on the LH fender? BTW, all the details like the hardware, decals and everything else really put it over the top...

Re: Engine compartment transformed in 12 days

Re: Engine compartment transformed in 12 days
Excellent job! Really amazing work. 12 days? You have obviously exhibited the patience of a saint to show us the work it took to reach this final product. That is one beautiful engine compartment!
Now tell us all the details from start to finish since you have set this standard of excellence for us to wish for.  Beautiful work and remarkable attention to the details really stands out. And the rest of the truck is nice too! Mark

Re: Engine compartment transformed in 12 days
I think it looks just fine without them. But i guess if you could replace them cheaply enough it wouldnt hurt.
