Who has removed their engine covers

[tastetickles]

I would do it to reduce the chances of rodent infestation. My two other cars had rats building a nest under the engine cover, I’ve since removed them and open the hood if I’m not driving them for more than two days.

I’m partial to the Ford FE 427 R code engine. It dresses up pretty well.

My grandfather purchased a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500XL R-Code 427 4-speed new. He loved that car and kept it in a garage all the time. Other cars and trucks came and went but that Galaxie always returned to it's stable while he was alive. It was Black w/very red interior (don't remember Ford color names). I tried purchasing it from my grandparents late in their life - Didn't happen. They said it was to much car for the young man I was at that time. Truth was my uncle (their son) had dibs on that car. My uncle kept it for many years and eventually sold it. I have no idea where it is today. I can only hope it fell in good hands and has been well cared for.

Maybe you need some mousetraps under your hood.

Or maybe you need to drive the car and not park in a barn.

Trust me, i did everything. Mouse trap, mouse repellant, peppermint spray, poison bait station, the whole deal. They don't work as well as popping the hood.
