    I took these pic's to show my completed Engine and to also see what size pic's I could put on here. I got a new camera and was taking pic's at full MP of 12.1. Well they were to big, I took these at 8 MP so now I know. Thanks for bareing with me. Rick

    Looks good. You should order a reproduction decal for the air filter. Stock blue filter houses always look better with an engine decal.

    71 nogo Thanks but I have all those parts I just choose not to use them. Mav75 I got a Canon SD1300is, I got it because it was cheap (119.00 ) and it's easy to use. I just had to figure out how to size the pic's right oh and it has agreat macro for close-ups.

    I used Krylon satin, but I never would again. It fisheyed alot ever though the can said paint from 50 to 90 degrees the people I called at Krylon said if it wasn't 75 degrees it wouldn't go on right. I even primed with their primer too. Next time it's dupo-color, I used that on the engine and it went on great.

    Looks great. Two areas that stick out to me are the wires going to the voltage regulator and wires around the fuel pump. Tape them up and it will be perfect. Just trying to help now don't take it the wrong way please. I also think a decal on the breather would look good
