I rebuilt the motor to 410hp, painted the engine bay satin black with pearl mixed into the clear coat. Rodney Red Radiator & March serpentine system. Down to the vacuum lines, fill the radiator and reinstall the electric fan. Hopefully I'll fire her up tomorrow. ![[Linked Image]](http://my67.net/op/P9305210r.jpg)

Looks awesome Johnny. Before doing all this work to your car, I really think you should have practiced on my car first... you know, just to get all the kinks out.  Try to keep that in mind for next time, will ya?

Dave, Doug, Brett, CD, thanks.. I wish I could have practiced on someone elses too.. notice I removed the gay purple on my fuel log, the lines and all cost $400 so it took me a little to warm up to the idea of painting over it... I still have more touch up to do...
can't wait to not push it anymore..

That looks great and I think you made the right choice in getting rid of the purple.
Perhaps it'd start if you hooked up the positive cable - JK.
