Here it is! Project Retro Sneak Preview This is basically what it will look like folks. The valve covers are unfinished, and the TNT kit isn't there, but this is everything. Notice the lack of clutter and especially wires!

Re: Here it is! Project Retro Sneak Preview Looks great so far, is there any reason why you would do so much work and not make the inner fenders shiny? I think that would really set the project off. 
Re: Here it is! Project Retro Sneak Preview Looking good!
Alot of room under there once all the little junk is moved/removed.
BTW: Please do something with those valve covers

Re: Here it is! Project Retro Sneak Preview 
that really looks good!!!Are those J Fisher coil packs???
Tony is right. The whole retro in "Project Retro" is to go for the older muscle car look. That is, uncluttered, little to no extravagances, and semi flat black paint. I thought about throwing some clear on there to gloss it up a bit, but it would just show any flaws I left behind worse than the semi-flat paint shows them
Thanks for the kind words! Looking for some trophies down the road with this combo. Seen many guys take an older car and make it modern, but how many have taken a modern and make it look old school? Something different. Damn near reckless you might say

Re: Here it is! Project Retro Sneak Preview Wow! Are you building a race car or a show car!?
Thats looking sweet. I wish I had painted my short block before I put it in my car a few months back. Oh well I will have to have it done when I tear down my block for a freshen-up this winter break.
Can't wait to see you car completed.

Re: Here it is! Project Retro Sneak Preview how about putting the coils on the sides of the shock towers and running 4 short wires across to the plugs instead of stringing the longs ones accross your engine bay? Thats the only thing ruining your clutter free look IMO.
Otherwise it's obvious you have put alot of effort into this. Kudos.
