Hahahaha yeah, it's not exactly a stock resto.... I want this build to look like a mild Kustom you might've seen on the street around 58-62. I've seen a lot of gold engines in the little books from that time period. I think it looks classy enough to be in a Packard.... At least it's not grabber green or something awful like that!!! LOL
Here are some pics of the install... Only bummer is I can't work on it again until next Wednesday.... Finals week means no auto shop the test of the week, and It's a four day weekend. Never thought I would be bummed about a vacation! Hahahaha!

I was going to suggest you paint it the original gray color until I saw the picture of the car. Never mind.
