new parts for the truck

i dressed the engine bay up a little, put my wheel well trim pieces on, lowered the front about 3 inches, tinted the windows, removed the broken front windshield, and a few other things.







and these are my new(well kinda) heads. they are built and crap but i have to rebuild them and blast them...they were on his built 305 for 200 miles but he didn't want the have to run premium gas so he took em off and sat them buhind his shed......... he gave em to me, i know they have been shaves and have bigger valves, new spring and crap but a bunch of it will have to be replaced cause of the rust.

Looks like your on your way to a much nicer motor. You need a couple of cans of "Gunk" engine-brite degreaser and a trip to the coin-op car wash to make a huge difference....

Looks great hobbz. It's nice to see pics of a truck "in progress." I start feeling guilty and inadequate when I see some of the pics posted of some of the other project trucks and everthing is perfect . The engine bay of my humble truck looks alot like yours, but I figure if I just keep at it a little at a time...eventually I'll get there.
