Looks good The only thing I would have done different would have been not painting the steering colum, the strut tower caps or what ever they are called, and the hood hinges. Other than that its a great start

thanks guys, except bigals, LOL

I plan on repainting the tower caps and steering gear gloss black, it was just easier to prime and paint everything yellow and then repaint the black by hand later.

no I'm still 1986redbird, because that's my street car. the yellow one is my drag car. it won't be long and it'll be on the track having some good times.

here's the motor for it:

I would have taken the caps completely off, because as soon as its time for a wheel alignment, those things are gonna move and will show its orignal color otherneath.

Dayum, all that work and then you topped it off with a dirty crank pulley!

At least with the new engine bay paint, you wont need shop lights to work on your car!

Just kiddin' ya...it looks dayum good.
