in the pic of the engine bay i had already started putting stuff back on... i removed everything off the bay before it got painted. No booster no prop valve no wire harness and no hoses and no wiper motor...the only thing g that remained in the bay was the wire harness that i have running into the fenders that leads to headlights and fan and other lights. os that got wrapped with masking tape. i think i have a pic
