Picture or it didn't happen. And please tell me they're not chrome.

The only shot I had was total crap. I'll snap some once I get it and clean it up. It needs a solid detail.

...And yes, they are chrome as fuck.:D

Edit: For the purposes of the thread, it is of course a V8. That said, I would not mind having one of these in a different car:

That's fucking clean, and I'm not talking about the level of polish in the bay. I just like the looks of that engine. Never used one, though.

Cheers,

Kennith

I'll post the texted photo that got my attention. It's a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad photo. The car's shape makes it look like it's got problems from that angle and in that light, but it's solid.

They look so tiny on this behemoth from that angle, but any bigger or wider than that and it would need some tinkering.

It's white, which was the original color, but the paint isn't all original.

That said, it's not rusted out. The thing is solid. There's some rust around the rear window, but that's expected for something at that angle from the period. It's not a problem so long as the glass doesn't break coming out.
