to answer a few questions....

The strut tower bar is an RMM that I had chromed a long time ago.....had it on my old GS as well....still love it.

To clean the bay I just used a damp rag, an air gun, and some mothers polish....I don't spray water in my engine bay. Fortunately the car is never driven in the elements, so it doesn't really get that dirty in there regardless.

I appreciate the compliments. I will have a full photo shoot of the car coming soon. Just got some subtle things done this past week that i'm anxious to see how it came out.

i only questioned the bar because it doesn't say Rod Millen on the bar. so was wondering if that was a bar they made before the signature type .

regardless, looking forward to the full pics. this car has had many changes over the years. great work

This was the 1st gen RMM, welded steel construction before they went to the CNC aluminum version.

I have an old pic somewhere of it on the original RMM car. Gonna have to dig real hard to find it though.

thanks Glen. wish RMM would have kept that style as well as the current. They both look solid and well made. There still popular today 10 years later

Yup! Looks clean to me If I had that engine bay I would drive around without the hood too.
