So we got the 351 back together and installed along with the FMX trans,







Differential cleaned and painted,



Fitting the front fenders,



And installed the new hood from Dynacorn. This has to be the best fitting repop hood I have done yet.



Now to finish the block sanding and on to paint!





cheers

I need to find a shop like yours in my neck of the woods, mainly just for Body and Structure. I have a 69 coupe that has been in the family since new (Mom bought it), but it needs some serious body work coming out of Illinois and it was a daily driver.

Great looking work...

Looks nice. Roughly a year has elapsed since the original post- how many hours do you have on it so far? People always fail to appreciate the sheer amount of labor with decent paint and body.

I generally don't care for flame paint jobs, but that one is very nice.
