Very nice. now take a bit of Duplicolors Ceramic Clear coat to protect it from under the hood heat. Very nice job indeed!

Only problem I foresee is you painted with the strut mounts in place. What happens when you take it in for an alignment??

well i thought of that but we got to paint the bumper, so well have it aligned b4, and then go and paint where it missed. and we built the motor, which is now in (awaiting intake). its a 350, flattop cast pistons, 212/222 435/460 cam (gmpp) and k motor heads, should be about 9.5:1 comp. but hopin for like 300-320 horses.

nice job. I did mine last year when I replaced my 305 and I'll tell ya, it took some time to take everything out and clean it all up and get rid of all the years of dirt and grease. thing is I gotta do it again...... note to self... make sure the cap is on the brake resovoir before your parnter presses the brake pedal to bleed brakes. brake fluid and paint dont mix well and the brake fluid wins
