Wow, you really did "dig in deep". I bet your getting to know cudas pretty well now.

I noticed no blackout on the radiator support, did cudas get that treatment?

Car is looking great! Great job.

PCV valve, grommets, hose fittings, etc...should have all been painted orange with the engine.
The four bolts that hold the transmission cross member to the frame are in backwards

Thanks for the tips!

I'll be fixing those items and more in the photos that come next. I also have to paint the transmission mount yellow.

Shouldn't the master cylinder be round at the front and flat at the back?

You forgot the fuel pump should have been painted.

And your favorite the sway bar is upside down.

You'll need to get a properly plated throttle cable hold-down and nut also not sure but didn't think the choke assembly was painted. You also need to get body color on the battery tray... Ron

Ron,
that choke assembly was the old one. we do have a mint Carter NOS one that will go back on the intake that will remain unpainted. Alan, as usual thanks for your eye for detail. Everyone else thanks for your help as well. Tim, dont sweat the small stuff. This has been learning experience for all of us. Keep up the good work. We are almost there. This delay has given me the perfect amount of time to get alot done on my end.

Sway bar is correct in my books ...I don't like the plating on the sway bar links, but we're not going OE gold here....Are we?

I agree, I always try to remember this.

It should be frowning and not smiling when it comes to the front sway bar.

Thanks again guys. We'll be spraying a little more paint here and there later today and yes, I did leave the old choke actuator on for the paint job. I'll install the correct NOS part when the overspray clears. I was anxious to break in the new cam and make sure everything else was working well.

That is an odd master but the owner has the really correct one coming to us next.

No, we're not going for OE gold but we're learning a lot and we're doing our best to do as much as we can correctly so, I'm going to look into all of the tips you guys give us.

Tim

the master that you see was an aftermarket one we were going to use temporarily until i could find a 2229171 to replace it. the correct one will be on the car soon. thanks for all your tips
