    Yeah....it's a bright color. :rofl2: I had a set of shop lights shining on it when I took the pic though. It looks ok, just not perfect but I am cool with that. Ma Mopar did a pretty crappy job painting the engine compartments back in the day.

    I think that's a voltage regulator. Good thing that trans is hard to see installed - that's a retina-burner, too. :bouncy:

    Looking good and very tidy engine compartment. I had a 71 Demon that was Sassy Green. My favorite high impact color for sure. Doing it the way you want:thumbs2:

    Thank you! :wave:

    Yup, voltage regulator. It is actually an electronic regulator made to look like the old style regulator.

    Thank you. It was either gonna be Vitamin C or Sassy Grass. SG won.

    Got some more done today. Got the radiator back, got the horns mounted. Kickdown hooked up at trans. Shifter hooked up at trans. Distributor, coil, carb, hoses, shroud, battery tray, starter wired in, etc.

    Well, the car is running and driving.(y) Still lots to do, but at least I can take it for a spin now and then. Took it out for a couple blasts on Rt 80 today. Seems to be running very well.

    Sublime Green + Hemi Orange motor = :ola:

    When does the rest of the car get painted? That thing would be absolutely killer with a Superbird front clip and wing.
