Keep the pics coming! Don't let the hours discourage you! What I usually do, is tape a picture of a finished and smoothed engine bay to the windshield, and that is my motivation!!!

Good work!

Seen that a couple times, it looked horrendous IMO.

Good work so far!

ok quick question for all of u who have done n e kind of body work. In my quest to make a very nice looking engine bay, what would be the best body filler out there all i know or have heard about is bondo. so my question is, is there n e thing better or more suitable?

Looks great so far - Keep up the good work.
&& +1 to Rage gold. But any body filler works, it all gets the job done.
