Anyone have any photos of your engine and engine bay? I need some photos for ideas (and inspiration) mainly of the inner hood aprons. Photos with fenders off would be helpful also!
Under Hood Photos?

That Ram Air is pure sexy. My 72 will be setup the exact same way. Even the same color scheme too.

Yeah I decided not to use an Edelbrock air gap on mine so I could keep the ram air.But I think I will put one one there if I put aftermarket heads on it.

Really looks good 72. Makes me want to finish mine. It's been too hot.

I'm afraid that mine would be pictures of an example of what not to do at this point.

Looks great 72! I hope my 72 coupe resto looks that good when I'm done!

I had a fellow Club member tell me it was a big no no to have spark plug wires tyrapped together (Like 72Fastbacks). Something like it may allow cross transients that affect how it runs? Has anybody else heard anything like that being an issue?
That being said, your under hood is awesome 72FB...

HCode, how did you get the area over the firewall so new looking...did you change it out or some special secret method of reconditioning?

well i had metal work done on the cowl area on the right and left side,, when i got the car back, i wire wheeled the entire firewall and the cowl down. the guy did a really great job, and i was able to finish cleaning off the garbage from the areas that were not touched and then primed and repainted.
basically it was a lot of elbow work
Striping the undercoat and junk off
