It changes color depending on the light and angle. My RR was B7 originally.

Thanks Dave! Pretty much everything is here, so any delays will be on my shift!

I'll probably be putting the stripes on first

I believe you're right Bill, thank you.

Once I get the engine completed I plan on posting up pics for a critique.

Is that a 68 bumper on a 69? Not seeing the back up lights.

Good eye, it is a 68 I didn't care for the 69 backup lights, and a friend had a perfect 68 bumper. I got some cheap rectangular small driving lights and made a bracket for them on each side of the license plate, after this pic was taken.

Every now and then you get lucky. About 4 years ago I bought a Centerforce clutch assy and throwout bearing for my 69 RR, never using it. Once I bought the Keisler kit I put it all in a box and duct taped it closed. Figuring I had bought the 11" clutch I opened it today to make sure, so I could sell it to buy a clutch set up for my 340.....Nope, I actually bought the 10.5 clutch kit, that bolts right up to my freshly resurfaced flywheel Nothing like not having to spend $400 for a clutch kit.
Today I got a few more things painted, RPM'd, and cleaned up despite not feeling very well.

I left the spring out when I rebuilt the pedal assy.
