Okay, the '72 is back up. I put a performer intake, and Edelbrock elite series valve covers and air cleaner. I also put on some new Hooker competition headers. The intake made a HUGE difference. I can't believe how much the headers changed the sound of those turbo mufflers.

I also had the seat upholstered, which was a surprise. If you look in the pic, you can see the bowties in the fabric. We also used Rustoleum (sp?) plastic paint on the ddor panels, they turned out pretty good, I thought.

Well here are some after pics, I took the befores with my aunts camera, so they'll be up later. Justin

That looks cool. But to just put that extra custom touch get some turquoise paint that closely or mathces the body paint and paint the grooves in between the fins on the valve covers and air cleaner. The that would be old scool.

Well, the truck is a darker green than it looks in the pics, the flash kinda messed that up. I would paint those valve covers, but I have no idea what color I'm going to paint it next, so that'll have to wait. And, those white wheels have to go sometime soon. Justin
