    Painting is the beginning of engine detail, I am going to add another level to it just for grins.

    Picture shows the mounting holes for an alternator, there will be others around for whatever.

    Seen on the front of the head from the side the holes were filled with acorn nuts. Filling the unused mounting holes on the block gives the engine a more finished appearance.

    I am not suggesting the acorn nuts as the way to do that, it's the builders choice they just happened to be what I selected.

    I also like allens, think they are more mechanical looking seen in the first shot on the water pump. There are lots of ways to decorate using the wires, lines and hardware take advantage of that. It is the little things that stand the most and go unnoticed at the same time.
