Default Before and After Pics

Happy New Year!

Does anyone have a before and after pic(s) of a past or
current project - comparing a similar before shot with a restored
or refurbished after pic? My pics are from July 20th 07' until Dec 14th
07. Granted, I still have a few factory parts - A-arm covers and
wiring chrome pieces to do in the spring, but for now this is what I
have to show.
Rudy

I started August '07 finished mid December this past year also. It is nothing special but really cleaned up a lot of excess, dirty crap in the engine bay

here is the before....



here is the after...




if you are begging for more projects, then do a search under my user id for valve cover polishing that I did this past Fall....it really made things shine up big time IMO and would do so for yours as well if you are not NCRS concerned

Dial up beware!
Some of the fun over the year...










And I know this isn't a Vette but it was what kept me busy before I got the "Vette" fever. Its a 66 Mustang Convert , won "Outstanding in Class" at the Calgary world of wheels when we finished. Paint and bodywork by yours truly!
