Nice job. Might I suggest PB7? Patriot Blue Clearcoat. On heads, yes, upgrade to 2.02 valves. If they were already drop in ready I might tell you no, but they need gone through anyway. I see you got the rear tire gap down. Looks good, a lot of tire in there.

The wife decided on the Hyper / Kinetic / Vector Blue, PPG 940550, whatever you want to call it. There happened to be a new Camaro show up at the local dealer and she fell in love with the color... Yeah it's a GM color, but I must say it's a pretty sharp looking blue. Tires are a 275/60/15 MT Radial, can't say I am a huge fan of using lower blocks... The set I ordered are angled which helped put the pinion angle right at -2.5 which is where I plan on leaving it. The caltracs should keep it real close to right on when under load. Nice it worked out that way so I didn't have to run the angled shims I ordered from summit. Still on the hunt for a 71-74 360 for this thing, just a matter of time until I get to put a little more engine in it. Plan on pulling the 727 out when it comes back and going through it, who knows what kind of abuse it saw from the previous owner. Best to make it right, bolt in sprag, good clutches and a seal kit a least before beating on it too much even with the runt motor.

Here are a couple shots of the color, little metallic and pearl help it take on a little different character based on the lighting and the ground color it seems.
