Thumbs up Engine Work Complete

OK so I can say its done and thanks to a few friends from LS1Tech for the assistance. This is also the owner that had one of the TTY bolts break of in the block but retreived it. I can say I busted my knuckles on everything... in stalled it all myself. I am ready to drive this.... finally...(foot still twitchin)

I have a video as well.

Talking Exterior work complete

Here is the paint job done.

Compliments of Phil Baumann Paint & Body in Humble Texas.
The graphic's are from www.autografics.com in Odessa Texas.

The colors are Red Matallic and Dark Gray Metallic.... I think the pics do not do it justice color wise but you can see it at the next Coffee and Cars in Vintage Park.

Very nice!

Agree with little too much red, all vents back to black and letters delete would look killer!

Love those bird decals on side and rear!
