I find myself staring at my cars all the time, not just the engine bay. Imagining what I want to do and how I'll do it.

I find myself staring at my front tires and wonder how I am going to get those to apply whats under the hood to the ground without ending up breaking parts....

I don't look at the Engine bay as much as I am one to turn around and look at the car when I walk away from it.

If you'd ding him for lack of that, then why not ding him for a 3400 in a 3.1 original car... ;)

Eric, you're going to have to do better than that. I thought my stuff was pretty clean (granted I haven't kept up with it for a couple years), but Kurt's bay is the cat's meow! I see rusty clamps in yours and a dull overflow tank... tsk tsk tsk!

He's false advertising his 3400 as "SFI" though! haha

Thanks Jon, you are exactly right. :D

The reason for pulling the hood insulation is because it's ugly, gets dirty easy, and the paint on the bottom of my hood is pretty damn glossy.

I might have more trickery up my sleeve for BFest '012. It would be super cool to 3-peat, but that will be insanely tough - especially considering how many people I overheard asking "did that person win last year?" The biggest question for me is: do I go gung-ho on new mods and change the direction of the bay slightly, or do I stick with what I've got and attempt to improve it further?
