Default Some more custom paint work

Did some more under the hood color matching. This is on my 68 Firebird bracket car. What do y'all think?



Here is the car:

I think it sucks you have a corporate engine in there. LOL.

I always thought your car looked fantastic.

Just depends on what you want. That particular one is a L76 intake. All the square port intakes are easier to smooth because the texture is not as rough as the LS1/6 intakes. PM me with details (intake style, color choice, lettering or extras, etc) and I'll let you know what it takes.

Also, I still have that set.. The orange intake and covers if any one wants to buy it, lol. It's a ported L76 and bowtie valve covers with the breather and cap. They're f-body SOM color matched.

The paint work looks great. Always love seeing your car at the track. Have always had a soft spot for the 68's. It confused me the first time I saw it due to the lack of the front blinker lenses on the lower corners.

Lol, it's actually a fiberglass front clip adapted to accept the factory headlights/bumper, so that's why.
