I think the first clue would be the OBVIOUS difference in lighting between the engine bay and the
engine itself in Exhibit A.
Who knows... the airbrush overspray could of easily been just tryin' to fix something up, if it
wasn't for the lighting! That's what really throws me. It jumped right out at me as soon as I
looked at it! The rest of the pics seem to be believeable but Exhibit A? Just looks fake! Hmmmm...
(The pullies don't look right either...)
