I'd so leave the engine cover off. I like a raw engine so much better. I hate the look of all the newer cars that have the covers that hide the most important part of the car.

on top of that, you have something to show off...

What did you use to polish it? And do you have a pic of how it turned out, I'd like to see what it looks like.

The only problem with leaving the cover off is that tangled mess of wires that it hides. Later on if I can figure out a way to make the wires neater, I might leave the cover off. I also have some perforated stainless steel sheeting, and might try a home made cover out of that.

I drove the car again today and am so totally pleased at how well it's working. The T shirt gets sucked clean with the shop vac after each use as it's obviously not the best air filter in the world.
