Hi Sug,
That's a great looking bb engine compartment.
I can well imagine the hours spent disassembling, restoring, and then reassembling, to have those results!
Well Done!

Alan

I have to second what Alan said. The after pictures on everyone's cars are great. Many have spent time on the details. Great work.

Lots of hard work rewarded with outstanding results.

We`re still working on our 71 coupe, so how about some "before & as-of-now" shots?

After looking at the posts, I'm not sure if I need to make my before pictures look worse or work harder to make the after results better....

Before I sent it up for a manifold, cam shaft and over all de greasing the underside.
After it was on the lift we found out it was in need of a whole lot more.
Scrapped the truck engine for a ATK 375 HP 350, had the trans rebuild and higher stall torque convert installed, all new bushings, bearings, seals, hoses, trans lines, springs, shocks, gas tank and what ever else could be replaced has been replaced under the car.
Waiting to install a fuel reg and then it is time for the interior work to start.

. It is not an easy job with the right prep, proper glue, and heat stretching techniques. I do not have that talent. I did the liner (Krylon Black Fusion Plastic paint), all weatherstripping, and almost all new hardware, including new rear deck side mount bolt fittings. Believe it or not, it snaps down and fits at the soft top adjustments! Once you manhandle the darn thing out of the basement...it is heavy!

My appreciation of Alan and his car just went up a few more notches based on those before pics....
I knew it was basically complete but never saw the starting point before.
