T lookin good the calipers look great,
might I suggest to remove the front fan and wipe it down with acetone,
then either spray it with some satin black paint or
wipe it with some WD 40 after you have cleaned it,
the rest of the engine bays look brand new cept the fan

Glad you like Stan. This is a dry run. Plan is to clean it all up before final installation. T

I hope you will post a video of the car driving, the new engine will be a blast,
plus everything else will be gone through to like new condition.
I think the yellow calipers will look good with the paint color you chose.

Video's of going into 6th gear & a few good burnouts (after break in of course) is what we have in mind T

You got it. Mentioned the two choices of satin black paint & wiping with WD 40. Dinsdale is having trouble on which way to go. T

Damn could that be that Dinsdale fan now showing up in various places to now haunt your car.

That fan may become the new shop clock complete with assembly primer and clear overspray.
Since its the shop clock it wont ever get stolen as everyone is always watching it

Thanks for the laughs T and Dinsdale

BTW I dont even have a Dinsdale

Stan, No one ever really has a " Dinsdale". They are either blessed with, or subjected too his presence.
Do you want to be blessed, Stan? Might I suggest, you talk to Tony first.
Regards Dinsdale

P.S. Thats a 10-4 on the shop clock idea . I'll send you a pic when Tony's done with it!!!!!!!!!!!

Stan, you may not even want a Dinsdale.

Dave as long as the Dinsdale doesnt try to Dipple,
I think progress will continue with Ts car.
Though there may be a chopsticks tune to it.

Now D about those clock pictures
