    getting there? what else needs cleaning? You going to take a q-tip to the crevices too?

      Guess I'm just a picky SOB. There is a little rust, however, that needs my attention....Bobby

            Got a spare that is pretty intact (black) so I'll probably put that one on.

              I have a spare as well but that one is even older...from my dads 85 Mustang GT. lol

              Looks great in there anyway. Intake plaque especially looks good.

                Yeah, you remembered that! Thanks to Dave, and his quality refinishing work, I have an Intake plaque that really sets the engine "off"!! Bobby

                    Actually there are not. I borrowed a digital camera for those. Need a new camera so it's on my "wish list". I'll post when that happy day happens

                      Maybe with a little more under hood work and photos of the exterior it could be a POTM??

                        Could a photo of the area around the heater core? I'm going to be working on it soon and I would like to know how it's suppoose to look. And also could u take a photo around the ignition coil.

                          Don't have a digital camera so can not do so. What do you need to know? Maybe myself or others can help????
