A Theme Tuesday post in 2026? I do know, weird, right? Nevertheless, as I discussed in my previous post, plenty of my Motorama 2025 content got lost within the vortex of a sinking (now sunk) ship.
With this 12 months’s event just across the corner, I’ve decided to liberate lots of these photos. Consider this post as a multi-part version of the event preview posts I used to do way back in 2010/2012.
Now I’m humbly aware that I’m known for 3 photo types: straight-on engine bay shots, rear three-quarter shots and profile shots.
Unimaginative? Perhaps, but I feel those shots are mandatory to properly present a automobile to someone who can’t see it firsthand.
For the whole lot that should co-exist under the hood of a functioning vehicle, it’s very easy for an engine bay to look cluttered, and I’ve at all times appreciated those that go the additional mile to make them look presentable.
On his show Bitchin’ Rides, Dave Kindig has often referred to the engine bay because the ‘jewelry box’, and I agree. If you happen to decide to keep it open at a show, it should set the stage for the motor sitting in the center.
I also think head-scratcher of a construct is price some love in a post like this too. Like this Detroit Diesel-powered prolonged Ford Model A referred to as the Screamin’ Jimmy.
It was parked darn near right next to my truck, and I got to check out it a couple of times in addition to have some great conversations with the owner and builder.
So, with all that being said, listed below are a few of the engine bays from Motorama 2025 that stood out to me.
The clean, the wild, the creative and the whole lot in between. Questions on anything you see here? Let me know. I still have all of my notes from 2025, and I can definitely help out. One or two might be in follow-up posts I even have planned as well!
