Took the engine down to the short block and bagged the engine and stripped every wire off the fire wall and fenders so it would be easy to shoot the engine bay. I took Wenol in the red tube and shined up all the stainless, aluminum parts and the plastic lenses. That stuff does wonders, shines stainless and aluminum to look like chrome and takes the film off the old plastic lens. Then went a little overboard and paid $2000 for paint but it was show quality.
