What's my problem?

When a car is as far gone from stock as this one is, I don't feel that the color of the engine compartment is that big a factor...although if that were true, the car might already bemail sold.

That's not the point
because mopar guys are so "conservative" the tend to be picky
a die hard mopar guy might take one look at that engine bay and go "what a hackjob" and not even consider the quality of the build
Not saying everyone would but it is a very real possibility
