Like on the new Camero, you can't even see much of the engine, but on our 3800s it's not possible to do like the Camero, but like the fuse boxes, I want them to be under a fiberglass housing that's painted to match the car/engine look. Same for the other side, then incorporate them into the existing engine cover. I know it will not look no were near as GREAT as yours (very impressive time, money effort) that was done to yours. How many ponies does that have with the turbo? Is that a 3800 series 2? Regardless, you did a wonderful job on your entire car, one of the best I've ever seen. That's why I have to go into a differant direction. Some of you guys are so good at what you do, I need to take everything I've seen and make mine a one of a kind (like yours) and give it it's own identity. Some things done to these cars / engines are just mind blowing on what you can do when you put your mind to it. I am gonna now drool on your engine, so you might need to wash it...lol... Mjc...
