Here is mine it's Shaved but the colours will still work out.

I put a K&N filter on and it sure does look alot better under there now. The white filters look really Ugly. I am not a big fan of the whole K&N crowd but I really like the look of it.

longnlow72 · 12-28-2005, 01:42 AM

Solver · 12-28-2005, 12:01 PM

her is my 72 with black firewall. I used por 15 on it

muddpile · 12-28-2005, 07:24 PM

Good topic! I plan on painting my engine compartment black (rad support, firewall, inner fenders) when I paint my truck. It hides everything and makes the engine the focus point.

Premium72 · 12-28-2005, 07:28 PM

heres mine...lots of black...a lil bit of chrome...the all black makes the chrome pop even more..

Heres mine. It is painted to match the outside. I have also been thinking about doing the inner fender wells in a gloss black to match the block.

**gregfull** · 12-29-2005, 10:32 AM

Here's mine.
