Looks great!
I think the only thing I would've done differently is I would have moved the alternator over to the passenger side.
But that's just me... It will work fine the way it is.
I like gold better too.
Painting the 455 blue just made me think of the blue Olds 260 in my '79 Cutlass... :lol:

So it is universal gold! All the autoparts stores around here have universal gold but I didnt know if that was the same stuff or not. As long as it is kinda the right stuff!

This guy probably has the closest match for gold and blue, http://www.hirschauto.com/prodinfo.asp?number=EEA-SPRAY&variation=OLDZ GD LT
It's pricey, but good stuff.
