You won't notice them as much with all the sutff back in the bay. Also, that would be alot of extra weight with all those holes.

Hey, im actually doing my engine bay right now also. Did you keep your brake master cylinder stuff in there when you painted it? What did you remove when you pained it and what did you keep in and just move to the side or go around?

I'll bet no more than a half gallon of gas would weigh, and probably less than that![:@]

I took off all the smog stuff, winshield wiper motor and all the A/C parts.If it could be removed I took it out with exception of the master cylinder. I left the master cylinder and I just painted around it. Ijust moved the wiring harness out of the way.

Doctor D415, post some pics of your progress. Good luck.

You def should have welded up the holes. You will be able to notice the holes alot more than you think. They will stick out like a sore thumb. And I seriously doubt you would have gained any noticeable weight. Looks good though.
