While waiting for my new light switch to arrive, I've been spending time cleaning up the engine bay. I think I've used more steelwool, degreaser, carb cleaner, toothpicks, putty knives, fingernails, and wirewheels than I ever thought possible. Much gnashing of teeth.
Entire bay was coated many years ago with some kind of flat black rubbery coating over the original signal red paint. I also polished the carbs to the best of my ability, made some new ignition wires, wrapped loose wiring harness, added a fuel filter, and generally tried to get the bay looking like a 1959 car which had been cared for.
Here's a before and after comparison - any suggestions certainly welcome. Also attaching higher-res pictures.
