Looks superb to me! The engine compartment looks clean as a whistle. Mine is clean, though not to that degree. Did you change the fan blade? Will that help with getting too warm when idling? My car did that once in San Antonio and it scared the heck out of me. The car did not boil over, but the needle was ALL the way over to H! I would like for that to never happen again...

I just had a garage built for Tootie and Gretchen (an old VW convertible), so I might be able to do some of the prep work like removing things, etc. My biggest concern is the 1950's repair on the front fender. It was done with lead and it is shingling and curling up. The areas below look like they are beginning to rust. I doubt the color could be matched if I had just that part repaired and painted. The other spots are low on the car where the man I bought the car from scraped things while pulling into his garage. (intoxicated alot.)
