ENGINE BAY PICS: Jaw Droppers

[phillyturbosix]

Why don't people hide their hoseclamps? I hate it when I see the bolt part on the front. Why no flip it around to the back and tighten it back there so it looks clean with just a silver ring?

Annoys me.

Amen brother! I'm with you 100% on that one! I see it all the time and I walk away from the car anymore it drives me that nuts. It looks sooooooo much cleaner when you put those stupid worm clams facing down. I think most people are too lazy to even bother with giving it a try and when putting a car together they just go the easy way and leave all those facing out. But yea.. drives me nuts too!!

I tried that but I seem to break something on my motor all the time requiring me to take most of the plumbing off. It was a PITA having them hidden but needing to take them off. So instead I make sure they all point the same direction so even though you see the bolt, they are matching all the others.

^ atleast your making them face the same way. If you have to remove them a lot then I don't much care. If their all facing the same way and easy to access then you can get stuff a part in secconds. But when I see engine bays in this thread where someone took the time to make it look extremely clean, had custom work done, polishes everything, and then they don't take the time to hide the hose clamps?

Not just the nicest buford engine bay but right there with the best of them.
In my opinion anyway.

How can I get in touch with this guy Jim? I'd love to see if another set of those inner fenders could be made/bought
