I thought to get the total effect of the restoration would be to post the pictures side by side.

It is a blast to drive.  thanks for all the comments

I am not sure what valve covers to get yet.  I dont want chrome or anything fancy.  I dont want to take away from the air cleaner.  I am thinking about a set of the as cast indy ones so that they match the intake and the aluminum heads.  Polished is too loud and fancy for me.  I am saving to buy a set of roller rockers and they wont fit under stock valve covers without hitting them with a ball peen hammer and that is not happening.  I like these.

That Road Runner looks perfect.  :2thumbs: 

Now you can turn your attention to the fence.   :stirpot:   Looks like it has a few more holes since three years ago.   :smilielol:

I also like your ideas about the valve covers.  :2thumbs:
