Everything is coming together Great!  If you are going for the stock look paint the water pump if not I like the aluminum color.  Breaks up a lot of the blue.

Unless you can work the originals to look flawless

They are pretty good but NOT flawless by any means. I didnt think Factory Chrome covers were Mirror shiny. Are they supposed to be?

So I am waiting for parts I figured I would dry fit some stuff and make sure it all went where it was supposed go to correctly.  Nice job to do when everything is clean.

Everything is looking great!  You may have said already but what are you using for your exhaust, manifolds or headers?
