- Engine completely rebuilt (top end twice, because I learned the hard way that Wiseco pistons were a bad choice. Only NOS for 305's from now on for me)
- No Paint or anodizing on engine - Cylinder and head were vapor honed and the cases were polished to a mirror finish.
- Pitted chrome was copper platted and buffed down over and over until pits were filled - then nickel & chrome over smooth surfaces.
- Found NOS exhaust system, but with some shelf-wear. Had it re-chromed.
- Built and installed a new wiring harness.
- New Coker re-pop Firestone tires. I have one new original tire, and am searching for another to make it 100%.
- Complete new paint in the original Royal Blue
- All black parts were powder-coated. No rattle-can paint
- All nuts, bolts, and brackets got a fresh zinc plate (or chrome, as appropriate)
- Complete seat re-build (padding, cover, polish stainless trim, powdercoat frame, de-rust and re-zinc springs.
- Rebuilt and restored speedometer.
- New battery and NOS tool kit.
- Much, much, much, much more.........Nothing was left untouched. Everything is as-new or better.

Hi,

One of the nicest resto's I've seen lately.
What was your goal ?

Build it up as new ? as original ?

The colour is very close to the original, nice !

And... why polishing the engine side covers ?? (my opinion)

Why were Wiseco's a bad choice for you?
