Are you kidding. Please jump on a plane out to Cali and help me with mines. The look of your is absolute jewelry. The key is the continual maintenance to keep it that way.

What Hood are you running. MCM?????????

Look great whichever hood you use. I just hope you can keep the dirt out. Do you intend on driving it or just showing it?

No it gets driven when the weather is nice, and a few shows here and there. I would like to go do some local shows and try to win best engine, but thats tough going against older hot rods. I did my 67 Nova engine real good and did get Best Engine at shows. Here it is

Kinda inspired me to try the same for the Vette Lot easier to do on the older ones

A work of art!!! Awesome!

(But, if it were mine, I'd still prefer the FRC's being on there. They'd have to be cut to clear some of the new plumbing, but if done in ML, I think they'd really finish it off. JMHO)

I love it... you're the first in the C5 world that I know of the paint the coil brackets and packs like that. Also love the wire-trucking and super clean look.

FYI they make a coil relocation kit so you can move them to the side frame-rail and then put on nice looking valve covers... so it looks better, not that yours looks bad.

Look into it, you might like it.
