Nice job, SSing! That looks much better. Thanks for the kind words too. The engine compartment was a big mess when I started. The previous owner had used a hella lotta rattle can black in there. I realize the original SS cars had black engine compartments but this was way over the top. I had to strip the firewall and fenders down to bare metal. In addition there were dozens of drilled holes and dents in the fenders for God knows what. I've attached a couple of additional pics. They are showing the right inner fender as I worked on the shock tower (it had been modified previously with a sledge hammer - the old fashioned way). The other is of the wiper motor before I sent it out for restoration. You can see on wiper motor just how much black spray paint was applied. ooooof.....
