Need Engine Compartment Pics!!
My next project on the shark is cleaning up the engine bay. I need some ideas from any CF members. Stock or some custom will be ok. I don't want to stray too far from orig. The motor will be in the vette during this process. Thanks in advance. L8TER, Paul.

What dressing? Is my manifold dirty? That Calyx stuff does look tacky.

Vettesic,
There is only one person who can document a BM, and thats Joel Rosen and he requires $1500.00 to give you a certificate. His love is money and not the Corvette hobby. I would not pay him $5.00 because it doesn't matter that much to me. I know I have a very special, and awesome Corvette. I don't care what others think. I aquired it for my pleasure.
I talked with Corvette Mike in Cal. when I was aquiring this car. He gave me some good pointers and was very helpful, and his advice was that he fealt good that it was a BM. Things checked out good. It does have the original BM plaque on the dash instead of the factory leather map holder.
Corvette Mike is a true Corvette lover and a great guy and a true Corvette enthusiast.

Re: Need Engine Compartment Pics!! (bamavettes)
bamavettes.......Enough said :yesnod: I agree totally!! The only reason I ask is that during those muscle car days I occasionally hung at the BM shop. Seeing all those awsome vettes & camaros. Hold onto that BM Shark. L8TER, Paul.
