Restoration Pic Thread
 
Lets try a restoration pic thread:
Show off pics of your restoration, whether it's an interior, under hood or complete truck... show it off.
This could be a good reference thread for those wanting to know "what did it look like from the factory".

:chevy:

Just starting mine. Pulled the motor and found the problem. All the bearings in the lower end were shot. If you look close at the pic of the main bearing cap you can see it cracked all the way through.

Absolutely what I was referring to in starting this thread.
Time (and money) very well spent, phenomenal skills and attention to detail. :metal:

71c10bbsuper, that's a really faithful restoration. Congrats on toeing the line. The pics look like they could have been a 71 advertisement.

Wow - very nice! Love the "Invader 400" on the valve covers too - the details are awesome.
