A 68 Cuda big-block fastback for $8500 - this is the best buy yet

You're really close just a couple of few simple touches and I think you would be right on my heels...
While mine has a 100% custom look yours has a really nice stock look...
Now my suggestions and they're only suggestions are not going to be those that make it look like it came out of the factory. Just wanted to give a touch of a cleaner look to what you already have. First I would high heat paint the top of the radiator black. Second I would take some armor all on a rag and wipe the radiator and heater hoses to give them a shiny clean look. Also I would take the alternator off take it apart as much as I could and tape it off as much as I could and high heat paint it as well. Probably black or silver. Also the next time I needed a battery I would get a black one. And one last thing I would take all the wiring back off with labels on the end of it and put it in a black wiring loom like this. Not the plastic corrugated...

I've been using that kind of loom lately on customers cars with a soft looking material like black electric tape on the ends and it comes out looking really nice... Just some inexpensive stuff to finish tidying up... IMHO...
I agree with the improvements! I kicked myself from day one for not cleaning and painting that radiator I guess I was so excited to get it up that I just checked out! But I agree it's the most noticeable thing that sticks out. I can't believe how fast it got dirty and not so shiny looking. There is part of the block wear the paint looks thin alt re any and the pretty silver manifolds have turned to a burnt rust color already! And it's just dirty looking overall. Im gonna clean it best i can and repaint some spots on the block. And paint that radiator! Hopefully by next year I'll have a new be cool or griffin in there instead of that factree one!
