I thought you would go wild with the engine compartment...i'm disappointed

The plate-patch cowl irritates me more than the aprons. Easy enough to fix the aprons, but that cowl patch will be a pain. Sure, that's the wrong radiator (and it fits like it too!), no shroud, etc, etc - but it isn't trying to be anything it isn't. It is just your run-of-the-mill POS.

The scariest part of it isn't even the car, but the story: It had a 460 in it? With 4-wheel manual drum brakes? Talk about your death wishes.

That engine appears to be a EFI 302 (5.0) turned into a carbureted engine, or an older 302 with the later 5.0 serpentine hardware + water pump bolted to the front. Bad match for the cam?

Ever seen the tiny little front drums on a 427-powered 1963 1/2 Galaxie 500 XL? rofl

 
what is that compartment in the engine bay where the battery would normally be located?

Its so obvious!!!!

Its the Flux capacitor, rofl

 
There a couple of "wrong" things under the hood, the battery is on the wrong side as well.
