ok, tell me what is wrong with my engine compartment

[resq302]

Ok guys and gals, since we just got the chally back from the body shop, we are now undertaking the task of returning it to stock apperance.  Essentially, how it would have rolled off of the assembly line.  I took a few pictures below of what the engine compartment is currently like.  I am looking for input (be as harsh and aggressive as you want, I welcome it) as to what needs to be changed to bring it back to show room factory condition.

So far, we already have the correct intake manifold, exhaust manifolds, complete exhaust system, air cleaner housing, and pulley for the alt.  I am aware of the incorrect coloring for the lettering on the voltage regulator also.  The radiator cap I know is incorrect but which one should it be (pic please).  Again, please pick this car apart so we can make a list if items that need to be addressed before the first show of the year comes around.  I will also be posting a topic in the body shop section as I have some questions about the trunk.

Not sure what year your Challenger is but heres some possibles: battery, positive battery cable connector (lug), plug wires, radiator and heater hose clamps, throttle return spring, electronic ignition, black washers on shocks.

The engine bay is too clean...it needs some "factory" grease and oil stains.

don't really know much about E body stuff    ... but  thinking the upper control arm , castor/camber bolts are round the wrong way ... the nut & washer should be in the engine bay side   ..cooling fan ??   wind shield washer  fluid bottle  attaching bolt missing  ,    by pass hose , water pump  to intake should be engine color i think  ................

  Classic!   Nice one Bill

I don't know where to start!

Bill, we have both factory 340 parts and all of the original 318 parts for it.  Dad is still toying with the idea of what to do engine wise.  He is getting all of the correct stuff for both though should he decide to swap something out at some point so it will still be correct appearing should he do a 340 part change.  Block is numbers matching so that is not going anywhere!

just scanned thru the pics.
fender bolts
voltage regulator bolts
Bat cables
pcv and pcv hose
correct pcv and grommet should be engine color though
valve cover bolts should have a captive washer
rear throttle cable brckt can't see very well to say , front one is right for a 1970
lower power steering pump bracket to block should be black not engine color
bypass hose should be engine color ( all wrong hose clamps obviously )
bat hold down should be captive washer nuts not wingnuts
missing starter relay shield
throttle return spring
voltage regulator print
ballast resistor
coil bracket/strap to intake bolts are not engine color
horn bolts washers look to small
heater hose to engine bracket is not engine color
rad cap
fan
shock washers
alignment cam bolts are in backwards
looks like  it's missing the noise suppressor under one of the coil mtg bolts

plug wires and dist cap you already have so I didn't go there
