That looks proper good! Ignore the purists, whose car is it anyway? 
Just enjoy it!

Well forward and backward progress. I picked up a polished intake as the edlebrock one that's been on the motor had a casting problem and it had a thin spot. While I had drilled it out, tapped it and put a plug in, wasn't sure if I wanted to trust it so I was wanting to put a good intake on. Well, new intake didn't remotely line up correctly, so put the edlebrock back on. seems though I screwed it up and have an intake manifold leak now, so gotta take it back apart and try again.
In forward news...I got the brackets figured out and installed for the bumpers and got them installed. Also got one side headlight in.

I didn't take any photos, but the intake came back off, and I cleaned the crap out of the gasket surface area and this time used an air scuff pad to damn near polish it. I got her back together and the leak issue is solved. my timing light took a crap, but I got the timing close enough that she starts and runs. Brother in law is bringing his timing light and we will get it set properly.
Glad u got the Intake gasket leak issue sorted
Often a problem on older engines especially when u don’t know their history.
Buy yourself some different weight timing advance springs & have a bash at recurving your distributor.
It’s an interesting project to learn on & gives good results.

more pieces to the puzzle to create the car of my dreams. Still cant believe I found someone cutting up an early camaro in order to score oem quarter ends, but got em. gonna get these grafted onto the camaro soon...
My legendary auto order arrived today. Definitely a long wait, but well worth it. Crazy to think these costed more then the entire body costed me lol.
couldnt find a single flaw to complain about gonna take the car up a notch for sure.
