with Jim Great work guys

This first pic is approx. one month after I bought the LT-1 (after one month clean up). Sure wish I took a pic when I popped the hood at the previous owners house, (with the two rat nest)...one on each valve cover


Finally going in the right direction...


After... I have now located my smog equip, vertical shields, and a few other small items to make her as she was. Muddy

I was going black with gold pinstripes to start with and was looking for something under hood when I saw his and liked the technique and the gold was a natural way to go, the HB just happened to match
