Great thread and a fantastic car Rod! Thanks for letting me have a little hand in it.

Thanks for doing your part. I'll be getting to your part in this...lol

I know I'm not so organized here when posting things but one thing I forgot to post, prior to getting my car painted is that I had to replace the radiator support because it was beat up, front and rear valence. So, I called AMD and ordered one and the thing bolted right up with no modifications, as many of you already know from buying their stuff. Also, my car had turn down tail pipes, which I didn't care much for. I ordered the dual cut out rear valence for putting the machine gun tips on. I'm sure the front and rear valence will fit good when I get to the part of installing them.

Fuel separator ready to go in. I also powder coated the plate that sits in the aft of the left wheel well and the cover that attaches to it, protecting the flex lines to the tank. I forgot to take a picture of it

Here are the valve cover and air cleaner, before and after, that's going on my motor. I had a FBBO sponsor powder coat them and I couldn't be happier with the attention to detail. Many here has used her services and if no one has, I'd recommend it if going this route.

There is no question when it comes to powder coating and doing it right....You are the only one!
Even though I have not used your services. A lot of my friends have and I am impressed indeed...

Now for the "eye candy" remark that relates to 2 thingslol

Getting some of the engine compartment components installed before anything else. Front brakes converted to discs, stainless lines, rebuilt the original wiper motor. Everything bolted up, as far as the brakes, just like the power drums did from the factory. Also, the red colored nut holding the proportioning valve to the inner fender.
