Does anyone have engine photos of Jeff Boone's Survivor 1969 L78 or the 1969 Silver Camaro that was at the Camaro Nationals this year?

The pictures I have of the Silver 69 L78 9000 mile car that was at the Camaro Nationals this year show no orange on the intake mating surfaces on the heads.

You guys are killin me!! Now that I see the pictures of the Nova, (thanks Rick) I really like that original over sprayed look. Then again, I like the clean look too. This may come down to a coin toss. Thanks guys, for the opinions and feedback, but all this did was make the decision harder. :

*Clean job is always easier to maintain/touch up if need be.

*The factory also did a s%4ty job on pannel alignment - you going to hang your fenders crooket to get the "factory look?"
Bill - one thing is for sure - knowing you're doing it - it'll be done perfect - whatever option you go for.... can't wait to see her done
