Re: do you ever find your self.....................?
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.

Re: do you ever find your self.....................?
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...indyyellow wrote:KFLO 93 GT wrote:I do much engine bay staring.

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

Re: do you ever find your self.....................?
Thanks Jon, you are exactly right. 
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?
