Wow that looks great -- HUGE DIFFERENCE Keep up the good work I found the more I cleaned, polished and painted, the more I needed to do. It's a lot of fun though and very rewarding to those who like taking old things and making them look better than new.

Here is my work-in-progress L48:

If you look closer you will also see that i didnt have the distributor in, this was taken while still in the process of getting the engine ready for firing up.

Default Always Hated 82 Engine Bays

I had to post!

And. . .

Loved the 82 's "Lines" couldn't stand the engine bay or the performance. Then it hit me. If your not going NCRS or Bloomington. . . Change It! I've never been happier!

Also since these photos were taken I painted the underside of the hood Silver Beige & Dark Brown to match the Theme!

Love the post.

Really like your use of Gold in your engine bay. I love the look of silver & gold; I have a few things like master cylinder cover and various bolts that are gold . . . just a nice accent.
