Paul 79, Baldwin Motion located on Sunrise Highway Baldwin LINY, was a speed shop in the 1960-80 era that turned out as a dealer option from Baldwin Chevy super worked Vettes and Camaros. :D L8TER, PAul.

What dressing? Is my manifold dirty? That Calyx stuff does look tacky.
Looks lik rust? Like mine did. I bought some of the dressing from ecklers. It brushes on and looks like cast metal. You can see it in my second pic.

Paul,
BM is a Baldwin Motion Corvette.

Baldwin Chevrolet Long Island N.Y. / Motion Performance combine was one of a number of Chevy dealers that made special performance -oriented versions of the Corvette outside of the normal Chevy factory options. These cars were billed as " supercars " , basically turnkey race prepared cars, invoiced as new and complete with warranty.

They were created by Joel Rosen of Motion Performance.

Good heavens guys! I think many of you suffer from OCD...your engine compartments put mine to shame. Hopefully whenever I pull the 350 I'll be able to freshin mine up as good as some of you have done.

BTW: Rhys...I could probably eat off of your engine :cool: . Yellow 72, your engine compartment is very unique....I love th different approach to detailing your engine compartment!

Brutis....Cool name, Love that Yellow color scheme. Whats the rest of the vette look like??
Twinnie....Looks like you have the market cornered on the first vetteF16. Better check with GM on that. :D
Paul75..........Cool website :cool:
Chuck & RLH, I think you guys have the look I'm tryin to achieve. Basically stock with a touch of chrome. Do those plug wires have covers over them??

Those are the "stock" big block wires. They have metal mesh shielding, as they are not contained within the ignition shielding. Chuck
