Progress Pics

Just wanted to say thanks for the help and answers to my silly questions. Here are a few pics of what you guys have helped me to do so far.

I still have a long ways to go though.

Sweet! Good job on that crusty motor. Is that intake polished or coated?

Very nice car!

How much have you driven it since these pics? Does your manifold still look that pretty? I'm just curious, cause I can't seem to keep mine looking that nice and I keep having to repaint it.

No problem at all with the intake, wipe it every once in a while with tissue and it looks just like when I took it out of the box. Well worth the extra money. And its not that much more for it. My brother-in-law has the same intake on his 79. Been on for about a year now and again it still looks like he just took it out of the box. Summit, Summit, Summit!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not saying you used the wrong stuff, I'm just saying I purchased an intake that has a Permastar coating on it. Here is the quote from Edlebrock, "The PermaStar finish is a high performance coating that gives a super show quality, smoked chrome looking finish that will not oxidize or fade and cleans easily".
