Underhood before and after

Engine rebuild, engine bay re-hab. If you look close you will see the custom oil pressure guage mounting!! Actually have not decided how I want to install guages.

Nice cleanup. What year and model? I'm thinking 65 Jetstar or Delta 88 coupe?

Well at least I got the year right. You should create an album or 2 on the site where we can go to look at that beast. I was close with the Delta....LOOOOOVE those long ol 98's though.

Thanks for the comments. I am doing as much of this project solo as I can. It is great to get feedback from people that know how much is involved. I expect it will be at least 2 years before it hits the street. Interior and exterior are totally stripped, rust has been dealt with. Brakes have been totally redone, including dual master cylinder install. Going through driveline now.
