Default Re: Engine Details (Correct Overspray)

Here's a shot of the L-72 in the LB Van Chevrolet sold '69 Yenko Camaro the Supercar Workshop just finished up this spring. The overspray is present on the bypass hose, intake, and although it's a bit difficult to see, it's on the edges of the valve covers as well. Thanks for pointing these details out in those original pics FirstGen, it's the little things like these that really set one restored car apart from another. In the age of "cookie cutter" restos, where restorers simply mimic what they've seen on other restored cars, the guys at the SCW take the time to carefully note and document each car's particular build characteristics before taking a car apart, allowing them to authentically replicate these nuances during the restoration process and for that I'll give a big Haven't we seen enough 450 HP air cleaner decals, Yenko crest decals on valve covers, and perfectly placed PTB stamps? The difference is in the details, and it's a shame that originality is too often lost in these days of shine & fluff over-restored cars.
