    what you said about not noticing details in a black engine bay makes sense.and i guess i should paint the cap another color if i can or find a black one.
    thanks for the input you got me really thinking now.

    I would definitely leave the engine bay PURPLE. Anybody can have a black engine bay.

    Those valve covers look great! I like the purple too, Craig has a point. Although I think an aluminum radiator and some chomed shock tower braces (or fabricated aluminum) would be a nice finishing touch.:yup:

    yep i think it would look nice too with aluminum radiator and braces.radiator may be coming this spring will see and the braces i could have done when i do the bumpers.

    P.S. fish out of water maybe next time im in nyc we could meet downtown manhatten at johns pizzaria you know the old converted church plan on coming there soon.wifes cousin lives there.
