I was just throwing my 2cents at you, man. No disrespect intended. We all have different opinions and styles and when you follow the work somebody's doing you formulate an idea and invest interest in the product...
I would liken the sentiments in my comment to what you might say in your head about a favorite music band you listen to. If you've really liked all of their songs, until one day they release a single and you don't recognize it, you really can't appreciate it or you just flat out don't like it... you might think "I wish they hadn't wrote that" or "it should sound like this".
I think your work on the engine bay, the paint and the motor have been really good so far. Keep at it man, and don't let anyone's opinions on here stop you from doing... you.
