Chris,

That is a beautiful job. Having done that project myself many years ago (although nowhere near as well), I know how much effort you have invested. Take my advice and when it's all done NEVER drive the car. That way you'll be able to enjoy that beautiful clean engine bay forever. Big Grin

Thanks again.
Panel and paint by pro. all the pulling apart of engine , trans and basicly all the stuff bolted on i have stripped, pulled down to nuts and bolts, cleaned, bead blasted and painted or had coated.

this car is to drive. It will never look as good as it will the day its completed so ill take the photos and enjoy that then. But it is for driving, and i'll get my enjoyment from behind the wheel.
