Strut tower braces installed

I am plugging away at getting this thing back together. Got the shock tower braces on, some wiring, and some detail work done today.
I'm waiting on the correct pulleys so I'm in no big hurry. Gives me time to tidy things up.
I painted all the parts for the braces black except the joints. It gives it a minimal look. I like it. Especially compared to the bulky factory parts.

Here's a before, after, and after after. In that order.
 
I don't like it.
Take it out....and since its no use to you any more, send it to me. :)

It looks great. Those OEM braces just looked strange on the 69-70s.
 
That looks great. I love the look of a black engine rather than blue. It makes it look mean. :rp

That "after after" looks real clean. So what are the details on that "after after?"

The after after is 15 miles after the after. The first after was after the first cam went flat. The after after is is after the new cam in the after repair got grenaded. Picked up a chunk of metal in the oil pump and locked it up stripping the cam gear and dizzy gear.

After after is the result of pulling the whole engine and doing a complete refresh.

Whew...for a second there I thought that I was seeing things.

I like the looks of the black brace. I just may have to do that to mine!!!

Looking good Sluggo.

Looks good, is that the "Street or Track" brace?

It's a hybrid. Street or Track firewall support with TCP shock tower brackets and rods. The TCP parts were donated by Rick (Fast68back)
during one of my visits up north. Thanks Rick!
