Very nice. From about 1963 to 1974 is my favorite era for cars.

Great car. These engines work great with a longer duration cam than the factory put in.

Thanks for the kind words. It's a fun project still in progress. That's the OEM factory color, you don't see too many of those. It seems most muscle is red, blue or a shade of grey. I liked the old school look.
