Engine Bay Progress Pics. Check it Out!!

Ok Guys here’s some progress pics. I am waiting on my new oil pan and timing cover. Once they come in I will button up the motor and get it in. Tell me what you think. Thanks for all the info and knowledge I have received here.

Looks good. Did you use any kind of special paint for the frame?

Looking good. I can't wait to get started on mine. Alas, it has to wait until Jegs, Summit and e-Bay get more of my money (parts ). Ain't nuthin' like a clean and sanitary engine compartment. Good work.

Thanks for all the kind words. The shocks will be replaced. I used rustoleum industrial paint in a rattle can. It looks way better than the pics showed. I steam cleaned and sandblasted the worst parts.
