    Looks great (y) Although it might have been easier to clean/repaint the engine compartment before you put the motor in :p

    But I dont know what your intentions are with this car, so I cant really say anything, I am jealous though, wish I had the money to do that. :D

    jeff this is just test and tune got to make sure everything is good to go before i pretty it up this winter. im going to pull the motor back out and por 15 the engine bay plus all body work will be done too. i have a heated garage to work in all winter at my parents house.

    P.S. i had to sell alot of other toys to do this but thats ok its worth it.

    Kinda weird that your car being a 71, has a purple engine compartment, it should have been black...???...Maybe being special order it was different?

    i thought that mavericks up to 1973 had the engine bays the same color as the body.just thought i heard someone say that on here.but any how im going to do mine black i think it will set my motor off even better than the purple bay.
