Design the engine bay around service access

Friendly confession: while I am in there may be the most expensive phrase in the garage. A clean build is strongest when the visual decision also respects fitment, serviceability, and real-world use.

The habit that finally stuck was simple: mock up the change before final finishing.

Haha, “while I’m in there” really can turn into a much bigger project! Mocking things up first is definitely a good way to catch fitment issues before spending more time and money.

So true! Mocking it up first can save a lot of headaches later
