What Color Engine Bay?

My 51 Fargo is covered in original patina, but i did clean and paint engine bay close to body colour. Interior also.
I want to keep most of the original look.

my 65 Barraduda is getting satin black engine bay, but will leak out onto hood and bumpers. Bumpers are toast, and a little work and paint will be a damn sight cheaper than chrome.

Im ready to take the hit from the purists, but im doing mine in a sensible way,as engine needs to go in before paint.

i do love the body colour on stock car engine bays, all clean and whatnot,and appreciate the work that goes into them.
