Prior to putting the new 360 in I made sure I cleaned and recoated everything I could get to.

Time to get the engine bay back together.

Man those 395 ponies sure sound good.

This part was extremely gratifying for me. Bringing the 'Cuda back to life sure felt good. One of the toughest parts for me was the 3 weeks I spent living in the engine bay polishing and waxing every square inch of new paint there was. Like I said I am a stickler for a spotless engine compartment. I feel it is one of those things that sets a show car apart from the others. It's the attention to detail, if you've seen any of the cars I've built you know what I mean. I want you to get the feeling that you could eat off of the engine if you needed to. Thanks to my good friend Craig we got the engine in without a scratch. While the car was at the paint shop I spent lots of time restoring things like the wiper motor, the engine bay wiring harness, radiator, wiper bottle, etc.
