Nice looking engine. I was wondering about that pan fitting when I first saw it...

That engine bay looks really good! What did you use for the under coating on the inner fenders?

Haven't made much progress lately. Car has an electrical problem and the starter is not getting power. I hope to have some friends come over Friday to help me sort it out.

WOW! That is a clean a** build! Thats the way to do it! If I ever get my engine redone thats the way I want it to look. Where did you get that power steering pulley?? Great work CS Vette!!

Finally made some REAL progress. Troubleshooting led to a bad opti (even tho it was good when removed). Replaced it with an MSD unit and now the Pumpkin is alive! First start up was about 15 mins ago. I'll try to post my crappy cell phone video later. More updates to come. In the home stretch now!
