Cleaning up the engine bay

[silverscottsk10]

Anyone have a way to explain or videos explaining how to get my engine bay to look close to something like these? Not as much as these, but clean up the fender wells and get a nice clean look?

Obviously I'd start with cardboard such as this but I still want to watch a start to finish instruction on it

Get your self a metal break, an English wheel wouldn't hurt either. Lol a welder and some flap wheels, some dollies and hammers too...and a bead roller......ok I'm done being a wise ass.

Yes I did accually their name escaped me so I omitted them lol. I was gonna put hole punchy thingys but decided to just skip it lol oh and bandaids and Mecurochrome.....

All of that is easy stuff, but making it work together is what I want to see,
And I'm not sure I need an English wheel, it's a squarebody, it gets square edges lol

Ask @Mackadocious916 how his round tire like the square edge of his fender...... Mike I'm just messin with you. That stuff looks good on street rods I'm not a big fan of it on muscle cars and trucks past 67. To each his/her own.

You seen what I did with the Mistress, and I bought the panels. I have about 9 hours in the one. You are taking it to a whole new level, a crap load of time, money, and cuts...lol. Have you looked into some of the custom shops around you? Maybe one of them guys could help you out in their spare time.

I've got plenty of time, and I found a simple bender plan to make for the long corners, just need the metal really
I'm not so much worried about beading the metal or putting designs in it

Tractor Supply has a pretty good assortment of sheet metal in various sizes. When I go to do my center console that is were I'm going to get it. Just a thought.

Those "designs" are usually structural rigidity.

I know, usually rural king has better selection around here

I'm riveting these together, so I am going to have brackets riveted together in the corners for support anyways, I prefer the sleek look better
