Looks good. Maybe add some headlight covers or some black headlights. Under the hood you could clean and polish anything you havent painted and get some more pipe on your intake to extend it into the fender well and then add a plastic roof flashing to seal it from the engine. It looks like this.


Just a few thoughts.

How would I get this to go around the intake tube?

Your car is looking pretty good. Really original and I like it But I agree with tps221, maybe just touch up on the engine cover and try to make the cover a little more detailed and sharper around the numbers and the stripes
