im going to paint some things white, if i end up not liking it then i'll just paint it black again
well i didn't get the paint yesterday, nor did i do anything with the car, i had planned to wash it and a few other random things, but I ended up mowing the lawn, going to the dump, an helping dad rebuilding the 289, i ended up puting the valves back together and striping the water pump and repainting it, so it wasn't a non-productive day....today i'll watch the race, and probaly help a little more with the Cougar...
and then i'll have to study for my AP French Exam tommorrow

That strut brace just screams "do what you will to me". That'* the first thing at looked at in regards to dressing up the engine bay. Haven't decided what to do yet. I thought about going with a color shifhting paint, not sure if it would be too ricey. Maybe red or would love to go chrome or gold.
I think white would be cool in yours.

Consider things like wire looom, color matched tie wraps, color matched electrical tape, et cetera. I'm in the process of relooming my entire engine bay right now to match the theme I chose. It'* not all that expensive to get the various sized loom you need. Same goes for the other stuff.
