thisismatt Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 But I don't mind the color. Don't love it, but don't hate it either. At least it's all one color and the engine bay isn't flat black Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Or wait...engine bay pics? Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted July 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Still Anvil color. The plan is pull the engine this winter and slap in forged pistons, new head gasket and refresh the valves. The I'll reshoot the bay. Quote Link to comment

My '74 was painted Chrysler (or maybe Jeep?) color but the can was miss labeled ..... My wife didn't like it so we had it done in Black Cherry... It's very subtle but different. The purple was too bright, this looks blacker in low light. 2 Quote Link to comment
Z23T Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Honestly, when you said you were going to paint it purple, I thought, all that work and your going to paint it purple, WTF! But it looks awesome, way to go! Quote Link to comment

Josh K. Posted July 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) Waiting on delivery of fuel door bumpers, quarter window latches and headlight buckets. I'm also on the hunt for some nice side vents... I'm awaiting the firmed up date to put the headliner in and then windows can go back in... lot's to do but it's moving fast.

Josh K. Posted July 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 I kinda like the color contrast. Maybe I'll keep it this way... Only if it annoys thisismatt... ?? 4 2 Quote Link to comment

Not the case here. 1 Quote Link to comment

Josh K. Posted July 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Thanks! I put the frontend on. Still waiting for the repop buckets so I'll replace those when they get here. I went with a different variation on the grill paint... It looks fucking amazing ? I'll add this so we get the front to back.... Edited July 13, 2018 by Josh K. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

tr8er Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Oil pan is slightly behind the wheels typically. That filter looks like it'll take the beating. Quote Link to comment
