    Talked the painter into painting the firewall so I could set the engine in and begin ***embling front drive stuff and exhaust, etc. 55 engine in 2.jpg

    Nice! At least I know what mine could look like. Keep it up.

    That's the way to do, can't paint it well after. I did the same on my car.

    It will be a month or so before it can get full paint so this way I can continue to install various items that will not be affected by final paint. MC, all engine related items, Vintage Air can be installed, etc. Big step forward to me.

    Not really, I am sorry. Just not good at taking the time and organizing the pictures.

    That looks nice about the same color I'm going to be using on mine. Did you make the cover for the heater or is it a factory delete? It looks nice on there.

    A friend made the cover, the intent was a factory look, thanks. Looks even better now that I have all the stainless ****on heads in there. Are you still looking for choke knob and cable? I keep meaning to go out to my storage and see what mine looks like. Should be pretty good.

    I was able to find a good choke knob and cable, thank you though. Yea the cover looks nice flows with the outlining shape nicely.
