Thanks guys for the comments...Im still hanging in there, getting little things done here and there....

So got my accel plugs and wire looms in .....my dad helped me with the hole process...it feels good having pops in town helping me out...we go everything cut and measured out good...the only problem was we had number 2 and 7 connected wrong on Cap. But my dad knows the firing order by heart, he reveresed it and bammmmmmmm, stated like a champ...Every thing is done in the engine bay...i might just paint the intake, i guess where i got engine rebuilt they didnt use high temp paint, and it looks like it fading, we will see...


Ps. Still waiting on OG mirrors, gettting them hopefully Wed....Keep u updated.

Thanks guys

Update : got mirrors back from shop and look decent...i really like the way it looks with original mirrors..no complaints.....the only issue i had was the super sport gaskets....they left imperfection/ingraved themself into the paint....good thing i keep those gasket and didnt sell them with the mirrors...it looks different, the super sport gasket with the oval mirrors...but nothing major...as long as i have the correct mirrors....no more trash talking about them...hahahahahaha

Im ready for the run....see yall there
