It's been a while since I updated this but I've been busy. This thing still has as a small chance of making it to the Shootout, it just needs a passenger axle.

So the engine bay is finished. At least until we take it back apart later on down the road. We decided to paint it a semi-gloss black and clear it. Finished it up today. Heres some pics:
