Project 63 Engine Bay Refresh | Full Octane Garage

Project 63 Engine Bay Refresh

April 26, 2013 Uncategorized

I am making progress on the engine bay refresh. It is getting close to the point I can start putting things back together 🙂 Don’t mind the modern 350 valve covers, those are temporary to keep the dirt out while I refinish the originals.

Before!

And Now!
