95riosnake Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'm sure that I'm not alone in my utter obsession with engine bays. Whether it's a race car, show car or something in between...I could stare at engine bays all day long. I'm someone who loves to pour over the details, so I really appreciate seeing others do the same. I find beauty in all types of cars' engines; be it a drag car, road race car, show car, pro-touring, hot rod, stance scene, truck scene... you name it, I probably dig it. I figured it might be cool to kill some time tonight and finally get around to making this thread I've been thinking about starting for some time now. My hope is to keep this thread going, if anyone finds something sick while browsing the vast expanse of automotive culture, please add it here! Without further ado, enjoy the contents of my "Engine Bays" folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'm planning on editing the first post to add a picture of Rich's engine bay as the first picture when he gets it finished. :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95opal Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 i don't know why you even bothered having Butch paint the bay, you should have just polished it all....haha ryan butch did polish it.........right after he buffed it. Ive wanted to run the bulkheads ever since I swithed over to the braided lines in 08, but I didnt want to plumb them in till I had that stupid hole behind the passenger shock tower filled. Every winter ive told Tom I was gonna fill it but just kinda lost interest in the entire car after my divorce. Heck I was so bored with the car I had posted it over on corral a year or so ago but I decided to just upgrade everything instead of starting over. Lets just say I couldnt walk away from it until it was completed. Dan thats gonna be a few months lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I didn't know you considered selling your car, I would've been bummed if you did. I've always loved your car, by far my favorite vert, with Paul's in second. I'm sure when I see the new version of it I'll just love it more. I respect you biting off the big chunk of redoing the entire car in one sweep, I would have felt overwhelmed about 6-7 months in, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 This thread is porno!Glad you like it! It took forever to post all those pictures lol. I was just looking through my engine bays folder on my laptop at home a while back and thought damn, this is quite the collection of awesomeness, I bet it would make a good thread!I really hope we can keep it going, obviously people don't have to lay down 180+ pictures like I did, but I think it would be cool for people to throw in any sick engine bays they come across.

As far as hammering it out in one sweep thats the only way I know it will get done lol. I already passed that overwelmed part while I was spending everyday in the engine bay. Once butchy laid the first coat of paint on it everything was back to normal lol. Just cant stand doing body work its just not my thing and the bay was really getting to me felt as if I wasnt getting anything done. Now its just a matter of time, as will I have enough of it to finish by my deadline. I guees well find out in a few months lol Edited February 20, 2013 by 95opal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
