Some engine porn: It should be easy to tell the before from the after. The previous shop did a complete hack job. :thomas:
Being done correctly now. Note, not NCRS level. She will be shown as a resto~mod with as many original parts as possible. #'s matching with fuel tank sticker intact. :banana1: Attachment 39024 Attachment 39025 Attachment 39026 Attachment 39030 |

Some of the gas tank work that was done, new tank since the old one was rusted. It was coated external and internal to prevent any future rusting.
Everything got an epoxy coating, including straps. WOW! Attachment 39568 Attachment 39569 Attachment 39570 Attachment 39571 Attachment 39572 Attachment 39573 Attachment 39574 |

As he has been working on the car, he has come across issues that he did not feel right not addressing, I am thankful for that so being patient so the car comes back correct. |
That is going to be such a sweet ride when done.My 77 is so pale in comparison. :cert:
