A Couple of Mods Yesterday...

I really like the idea of a false firewall to hide the hoses and wires behind the engine, but polished stainless doesn't really follow my theme. So, I went down to the scrap yard a bought a sheet of 18 gauge aluminum and went about making some patterns from poster board. Once I was happy with the fit I broke out the sheet metal sheers and cut it up. I then put door edge trim on the lower edge and screwed it in place after I hit it with black trim paint...

While I was in there I also rerouted the coolant hose from the overflow tank and added a stainless hold down clamp...


Right side...


Left side...


So, what do you think???
