Restoring my LS5 Engine Bay
Bringing my matching #LS5 back to show quality. I'll keep posting pics over the next few weeks of her progress.

If you are not pulling the engine and cleaning/repainting everything, it won't be up to NCRS standards.
But, the rest of us will like it just fine!

Under the hood is going to look as nice as the rest of the car.
Keep the pictures coming.

<div style="text-align:left;"><br /><br />This is my 69 Chevelle's SS Engine Bay. The Vette will meet or surpass this quality. Maybe not NCRS, but I can make a lot of people envious😎<br /><br /><br /></div>

Thanks Alan! You certainly can. I have had a 69 Chevelle SS and a 68 Camaro R/S that have won Super Chevy and High Performance Chevy Best in Class, that I restored in just this fashion.

It seems to be only 1971 LT-1 decal as I looked at some other years on offer and they looked ok
Carburetor is spelt two different ways also on lines 2. & 4.
The annoying thing is a) I didn't spot it prior to applying & b) Paragon have offered a correct replacement (they say it's never been picked up before) to be included in a future order. Yeah right.. I sanded that area to bare glass to ensure they would stick properly so changing it would be a pain. I guess I'll wait and see if it gets picked up at shows.

Hi Stuart,
Thanks.
As I said I don't think I've ever known of anyone catching that!
Well Done!

Maybe its intentional so that repro sticker can be easily identified.
Na more likely bad spelling from the overseas. I shouldn't talk, I cant spell to save my life!!!!! Ike
See I had to edit the post to correct an error.
