Default Hole fillin. (cleaning up the bay)

This was something I kinda thought was maybe unnecessary but I really like that way it came out.

















I am doing this to all the holes that I don't need in the bay. Tell me what you think, I am not done with all the rest over the headlights but soon will be.


I also filled the wiper hole:







This was all my first time doing this kind of work.

Looks very good, but why not just get rid of the radaitor support piece to began with ? Aren't you going to run hood pins ?

Yeah, but I am also going for the clean look so I thought getting ride of every hole would kinda make it look a little more detailed. I also don't know if there would be any disadvantage taking it off..............

What I was getting at was, loose it all together and just add metal if you wanted to stiffen it up. A lot more room with out out, specially if you go turbo.

But the job does look good though

Oh ok, just a suggestion on cleaning up and freeing up some space. Don't get me wrong though, the job overall looks good. Keep it up, pick up that gas bottle soon.

dude it may not be necessary but it gives it a really clean look. and makes it all flow. i plan to do some of this myself when i get my car respray in the engine bay and the whole body. i love the look of just smooth metal painted. if the hole is not needed why should it be there lol
