That's looking really good.
I'm going to add the airbox clips a bit later in my build - there's still quite a bit to add in the engine bay.
I won't add the Shell airbox decal as it was only on cars after 1973 really but it does look good and add extra colour.
Great to see another build that is adding extra's.
Roy.

I would guess it has been added to the car: http://car-bone.pl/tags/engine-bay-decals/page/2/
No matter though - it looks really good. Roy.

Roy the sticker I've used is not on the website you linked too, the one shown is 73 onwards but it's not the version I've used. But it is here http://www.sierramadreco...-Up-To-1973-p17789.html
And it's up to 1973 and before, I'm pretty sure it's the correct decal for a 1972 RS. Rich.

Could be right.
There are lots of assorted variances in any car.
As I said though - it looks really good anyway.

added sound proofing to the engine bay - still extra wiring to add and fuel filter to plumb in. also added some extra wiring, and the hose on the airbox intake - I'm not 100% happy with this, I have some thinner rubber on its way so this will be replaced, but you get the idea.
