Default Old school & New school

So in our final assembly room right now we have a few cars nearing completion. One is 54 Plymouth suburban with an original 241 HEMI and has alston suspnsion. One of the others is the slightly infamous C6-57. They both have the Super High Tech XRP hose made from Kevlar. The hose was originally purchased for the C6-57 project and we had some left over and thought we might try it on this traditional old school project and it looks just as amazing on both projects. We also anodized a bunch of parts on this engine that are billet and made some pretty slick looking parts with trip to the anodizer.

I would leave the bed open on the truck. Seems a shame to cover up all the art work.

I was going to just cover it up, but I'm tired of working on it, So I will leave it open for you guys.

Brent, the exhaust has a custom mixed thermal coating from Specialized coatings, in Huntington Beach. I wound up painting the tank the same color, cuz the tank would show wear from just masking tape. Plus figured fuel might stain it.

Soon real soon.........

Love that hose.. I was thinking of swapping to it but I have so little hose in my engine bay. How does it do for fuel line?
