lack of wires look great.... BUT... IMHO all the holes that were not filled take away from the look big time. the top of the shocks being painted looks bad, same with the upper control arm cam bolts and master cyl mounting plate being painted green. they all take away from what could be a really good looking engine compartment.
They are coil overs not shocks...And as an original 440+6 shaker hood 4 speed car with only 13k miles on it, I left the holes figuring whomever was well off enough to afford to buy it some day will most likely switch it back to stock. Not to mention at the time I painted it, I did not have a mig welder to do that. Maybe I should leave the under coating on next time too.
If I were to do it my way. it wouldn't even have inner fenders or a stock firewall. This seemed to be the best compromise between what I wanted and keeping some value to it. Besides, nobody notices the engine bay with that thing in there....If I repaint it this winter when I pull the engine, who knows...
