Very good points, John. Its easy to go too far, and have a vehicle that is very tough to service.

I have to agree also. I personally am not in favor of the current trend to try to "hide" everything in the engine compartment. Some go so far as to fabricate intricate covers to hide the engine completely. It's an engine! Why would you want to hide it? Celebrate it! Isn't this one of the number one complaints that many people have with modern engine compartments, that you cannot even see the engine? And we've got cool hot rods or muscle cars where the engine can be proudly displayed, and yet choose to hide or disguise it? Originally Posted by BulldawgMusclecars

Here are some pics of my engine compartment after re-wiring and redoing a lot of the plumbing, and changing the engine. This is on a 56 F100.
