Need help perfecting the budget build hemi swap

It was a pain in the butt to color match the firewall plates to the existing paint without dripping, or painting everything around it. I think I'm going to wait a long time before I try to blend it all together, but for now it looks pretty close. The paint in the engine compartment could use a good cleaning, and a buff, but it's all there, thank god. The worst thing is somebody must have sand blasted the hood. Be cause every time I open it, I find sand right under where the little holes would be next to the hinges. Sand blasting is bad news for sheet metal.

Oh, my bench seat interior, and my home made pistol grip shifter. I took the Hurst pistol grip handle that they sell for racing, and filled it, reshaped it, and re-tapped it. I have two wood gun inlays that will be screwed into the recessed sides.
