OMG. Where will it end.

I do like the afm. Think should do the throttle control arm to fill in the chrome gap though.

Keep it up.

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHH MY EYES! Their melting! :D Got to be one of the cleanest looking engine bays on the zone, it's a credit to you Cliffy.
I think you need to get your throttle body polished, it's letting the side down slightly.

Looking good but there's a way to go yet! Thermostat housing, top of radiator, engine hook etc etc. If you're going to do it then you may as well do it all.
