Looks stunning, as usual. Shiny or weathered? Make it shiny. It's a very nice car, it doesn't deserve to be a rust-bucket!

I agree, it wouldn't look right with such beautiful exterior and a dirty engine bay!

i already added some rust into the engine. like on the air cleaner. you can see it in the pic. but thats just normal wear for an old car.

Hey James, how did you make the battery terminal ends? It looks like the wire's actually crimped into it...

For the battery clamps I take some small diameter solder, (for electronics), flatten it with a hammer and shape it using a knife and file. Then make a hole in it. , and on the other end make a hole so you can sliide the wire into it
On the battery sand off all the molded on stuff, and install 2 straight pins in as terminals. And file the ends of them flat.
Then just place the clamps over them and you’re done!
