You know you have it bad ........

... when you stop putting on your new heater hoses to hand polish the stainless steel hose clamps.

Which I did last night! Good progress being made, my newly spiffed up engine should be in running condition by tonight. I'll post a photo when I'm done.

Don't feel bad, Marty. I've polished some of my hose clamps also. Gives

a little more shiney to the engine compartment. Have also polished the

band that holds the coil in place, and those clamps on wiring coming thru

the firewall. Good ol Mother's Mag Wheel Polish. Along with a little elbow

grease. Cause you gotta go over those things several times to get the

shine. Like making chrome out of a non chrome item. Oh yeah, polished

my metal gas line and vacuum line. Wrapped chrome tape around the

bracket holding the coil.

Do you have the chrome acorn nut covers on the head bolts?

Great pic of your engine bay. I spent some time just gazing into the engine bay of my 47 Dodge today, after doing a spot of exterior polishing. The engine bay in my only recently acquired car is in need of some TLC...and your's in certainly an inspiration.

I'm a fan of your acorn nut covers - look good.

...and Marty - I'm sure I'll end up with the same disease as you in time!

I did the same stuff... I even polished the brass fittings on the oil pressure rubber hose, along with the hard line that runs down to the block...
