History Late 50's - early 60's style engine bays

Though it might be a while before I'm dressing up the 283 in my '56, I figure some inspiration doesn't hurt, does it?

When I think about engine bays of the period I think of chrome, multiple carbs and tuck n' roll, but that's just me. Feel free to post anything period correct you got. Fords, Chevys, Mopars... it doesn't matter.

Mark's '55 Chevy with a Nailhead is pretty neat I think:

3 outa 4 ain't bad odds...so far

Would it be weird if someone got a woody looking at these pictures?

 

Nope,it only gets weird if you talk about it.

 

No

 

Back in the late 50's that was the absolute coolest for me
Nice build.
