… I think the pans help to make a finished look to the engine bay!

That's the main reason I have them.

I am in total agreement with that. It just looks like something is missing without them.

I haven't tried backing up in mud tho...

I agree with all the points made regarding engine pans. Thus, I have one car with pans and one car without pans! Bottom line..........I like them and prefer them on the Model A.

Back in the 1960s when I first got into Model A Fords, it was standard practice with old timers to get rid of the things if a car had engine compartment pans. Most cars however a generation or so before had them ripped them off. Remember, right or wrong, the pans being considered a fire hazard for leaky Zenith carb dripped accumulated gasoline. There are two or three of the pans hanging on a nail in the garage here that may one day get installed in the 31' heap. Car is suppose to heat n' cool and operate better with the pans in place.
