Don't you dare! It lookes AWESOME exactly as is! Clear it if you have to, to keep it from rusting, but I personally love the bare metal look!

It's already surface rusting. I'm going to paint it Rustoleum hammered charcoal grey. Probably just brush the aluminum panels and stainless gas tank. I want to keep it a darker color because of the shock towers being in my line of sight.

It's alive! A friend of mine that is very familiar with Holley fuel injection came over and helped me get it running. Once we erased the old tune and loaded one of the Holley base tunes it fired right up. We were able to break the cam in and fix some fliud leaks for now. Once I get the brakes plumbed we'll be able to drive it around and fine tune the drivability. Excited!

If I can figure out how to get the video of my dang phone I'll post it up.

Any chance of seeing it at Big Rock next weekend ??

Nah, still lots of little things to do and not much time. I wish it was ready but don't want to rush it. I'll probably take it out locally first to shake down any issues and get some more driveability tuning done on it. Here is a video link.
