You know you have a great looking car when other people post photos of it. When somebody wants to know what a restored '69 engine bay should look like, I've found and posted yours. You've set the bar high for the rest of us.

Very kind words, thanks. Scott's done some awesome work on it. It is a compliment when someone just posts a picture of the car, that is for sure.

There's some great cars on this forum, though. Some pretty high bars set all around.

Nope, it's a fact. If I get another C3, I want it to be a 69. Some awesome 69s in this thread.
