Before and After Pics, Cleaning and Detailing!!

Hello everyone, for the past 2 weeks I have been in major clean mode, A good buddy and I tore the original 307 out of my truck, we cleaned it all up, resealed it, cleaned the whole engine bay, and put back in the original 307, I am putting on a dual exhaust today(flowmaster super 40"s). I just thought you all would like to see some before and after shots, enjoy!!

Trying to keep it original, besides the dual exhaust..

That's a Dark Gold 1970- do you have more pics? I have the same color and you don't see it very much. Thanks Jim

Hey Jim,
