The red stuff was purely cosmetics. I wanted to dress up the engine bay a bit so I used this wire cover stuff you can buy at any local auto parts store in different guages for the different size wires. This stuff will also protect the stock wiring and keep it looking new if I ever sell the VX and take it all off in the future.

The HOOD PROP was painted with high heat engine paint but will be stripped ASAP as I do not like that peice red. I want to sand it down, glass bead it and chrome polish. Also looking to chrome polish the valve covers when the time comes to replace the valve cover gaskets.
