Default motor before/after pics

I picked this "78" pace car up in October, I realize it's not the most wanted Vette in the world but I like it, L48 and all

No pics and the destination just gets you spammed. Try another host.

You must be the other Pace car that voted for their favorite, I know there was only two votes the last time I looked, anyway someone painted it all black unfortunately so that's something else I'll have to do even though it looks really really good all Black....Ron :cheers:

My engine needs some of the attention that you gave to yours. Did you pull your motor, or did you do a lot of work around. Looks very :cool: .

:cheers: Rich

Rich, I just pulled everything on the top that I could get out of the way Alt,carb,clutch & fan all brackets etc. Thanks for the compliments much appreciated.
I'm kind of lost here, why some can view and some can't. I know I can only bring up the before pic the rest are the red X's.
I'm SOOOOOOO confused....Ron :cheers: :cheers:

I'm the one who added who added the Pace Car as a choice, I've always loved them, an L-82, 4 speed, with the decals on the doors would be my perfect stock vette :cheers:

Ryan, I've got all of that, except the decals are still in the box the dealership put them in. it's a circa 1978 AC Delco oilfilter box.

I thnk it looks great. Good job!!! :cheers:

One small thing I would have done differently though is not paint the Alternator and A/c Compressor brackets blue. But, your car. Enjoy!

Joe, I agree with you on the alt and ac brackets. I thought long and hard before I painted them blue, even though it's looks OK I probably should have had them chromed or another color. Another project down the line would be that and repaint the silver on the outside......Ron :cheers:
