Before and after pictures of my engine install
« on: September 12, 2009, 16:20:51 »
Guys I have been putting this off for too long.  I have attached the before and after photos of my 6 month engine replacement project.  After lots of help and hard work I have some pictures to share.  The car runs great and I hope to enjoy many miles to come.  Everything was done at my house except for the machining and blasting of parts.  Hope you like.

Hello jesse,
Is it the standard color of the wheel hubcaps? Seems black on the picture.

The caps are all chrome but I will finish them once I finish my wheels.  I have gathered period correct rims that i will paint and eventually put on when i gather all the parts.  my top is white but the convertible is blue.  I will paint my caps white later.
