Added a few things recently

Just wanted to post a couple pics of my recent additions..
1) offset aircleaner
2) all new hoses
3) changing sensors over for guage dash conversion
4) rear sport bumper brackets
5) front and rear bumpers
6) HEI
7) PS
8) PB
9) Cowl screening (thought about painting it to match the cowl...any thoughts?
10) sway bar
11) new defrost hoses
12) new hood to cowl seal
geesh... hope the wife doesn't see this list!

Just can't quite get up the gumption to paint the block.... I want to start driving it regular and as soon as I finish the 454, it'll be going in.
Can anyone tell me if orange block and blue head are common? It's a 72.

Next up will the addition of parchment visors, belts and door panels...

I painted mine. I had a can of el-cheapo Wal*Mart green spray paint. It wasn't that close to my green paint color. However it looked a lot better under there than bare, galvanized screen.

I'm not sure yours will paint that easy. With the tight mesh the paint may dry in some places where it fills the holes. The screen I used has bigger holes.

I was afraid of it plugging up - I used aluminum screen and it almost disappears at a distance unless exposed to a flash or bright sunlight.
