This is My 71 Scamp. What do think of the engine bay now? A lot of time went in to this.

Hey,
    Great Job! I did the same thing with my car. Its just a labor of love. It doesn't cost a lot of money to do, but a lot of work & pride go into this kind of job. It all pays off in the end. Again, very nice job!
     Good Luck

Surrounding a Mopar power plant with all of that beautiful body color paint, is just one more reason that Mopar's put chevy's to shame......As all of the others have mentioned above, you have done a GREAT job on your engine compartment and I will look forward to seeing the car as you progress on your build!  Cool Grin

Looks real good, but you screwed up.   You forgot to fill the holes where the shocks come through.   You won't need those when you put in an AlterKtion front suspension  Grin
