started cleaning up the engine bay

i know it isnt much, but its a start. im not much of a body guy, so im sure im doing things the hard way. i still have a lot more holes to fill, get it all back smooth, and re-primer it all. for all the large holes im welding in sheet metal. tell me what you guys think.
