Coming along great.
Interested in your paint touch ups to the engine. Did you use a brush or spray?

I masked everything off and sprayed it. Mostly just the intake from the carb forward and the block from the timing chain up. Paint matched perfectly.

Good to know. I need to do something similar with my Chevelle.
Cheers.

Isn't amazing how ONE part upgrade turns into this huge snowball of "sequences" ??? It looks great now and I really like the as cast AR wheels...

3 years ago, I was doing a front suspension/brake upgrade on my '67 Camaro. Geez, the sub frame could use paint while I'm in here. The only way to get the whole thing painted is to remove the inner wheel houses. Yeah, right, a couple days later all I had left was a bare firewall...

Very excited to see this one done! My guess is that it will be too nice to use... but keep it on the street!

Congrats Jake
