Default Re: 69 Camaro L78/L89 Engine

Thanks for all the positive response, it has been a long year collecting, painting, and fitting parts. Notice in the old pic the car is without spoilers. The third owner added them sometime after he bought the car. I like the look but would prefer to bring the car back to the original look. As far as the engine paint, I mixed it up custom using PPG Omni Urethane with Hardner from some original Chevy Engine parts I had. I can get the number later if you like. Here are some additional pics of the car today, less bumper, grille, and trim. Also, I started the engine today and broke the new L-78 cam in, boy those solid lifters sound good. Enjoy!









For some reason, the camera picked up some weird reflections on the side of the car. It should be finished tomorrow and the weather will be in the 80's. I will take some shots outside with better lighting.
