Finally!! (pics)

Looks awesome! The only problem (if your like me...) is now every piece you want to re-install is going to look old & used. Trust me... take the time to prep and paint all the little things that will make it all look killer when it's done. For example, my local SEARS Hardware store stocks an incredible selection of plated, coated, and stainless fasteners. Take the time to gather up what you'll need for the blower motor, wiper motor, master cylinder, radiator, horns, etc....

Needless to say, keep posting pictures!

You got something against black tape and zip ties? j/k

I know exactly what you mean. For example my fuel pump off of my old motor works fine but nothing I could do to it would have made it look good so I've GOT to go with a new one.

As you can see in the above pics the heater motor is not completely done yet because I can't make up my mind to how I want it to look. But I think it will be all black now...same with the wiper motor. I've been looking at other members firewalls just to get some ideas.

I plan having new horn relay,stater relay,brake lines etc.. I might have to change radiators eventually because it is a two roll radiator. I went from a 273 to a 360 so I am worried about cooling.

It will definitely take some time before I can even think about installing the motor. I don't it to be one of those throw it together deals.
