Yeah, that is my exact take on it, too. Clean and simple. No heavy use of color, just a nice, clean silver finish that looks very factory. Color parts are nice, too, but it's nice to see parts done "clean and simple". Your work shows how nice everything can then work together. I'm impressed with how nice everything came out. Love that the blower was powder-coated silver, too. Nice!

Black Gold, can you post a photo of your engine bay when everything is assembled?

^^^ Wow that looks amazing!!!

Thanks for all the compliments guys. Very much appreciated! Yes Bob, I plan on posting as I go and I will post pics of the completed project.

I normally like to wait until I'm done before I post up so everyone can see start to finish right away (I know that's how I like to look at postings), but I couldn't wait. Putting it back together has been a little slow as I have been ordering more parts as I go.

Don't want to have nice new powder coat and then dirty bolts, rotten hoses and other unsightly items.

Thanks again guys. I'll keep the pics coming as I progress.......

Okay did a little more work this past week. Going to "try" and button it up this weekend if the weather cooperates.

Okay, weather was better today. Here is the finished product. Besides the powder coating I redid the black hose coverings and added a battery cover and overflow tank cover.

Man, this thing is very responsive with the accufab single blade TB. I'm very happy with the additions and results.
