N.Y. project 72 k5
my k5 turned into a total build so i decided to start a thread from beginning to its current state! this is basically how it came home after i got it running. it had been sitting in a farmers field since 94!

Re: N.Y. project 72 k5
Ya, those are the correct colors right? Chevy orange for the motor-bellhousing,red for the transmission, gunmetal grey for the adapter? I'm thinking red for the np205 transfer case too. Everything else under mine will be black, make those components stand out more!

Correct colors to the best of my knowledge! On the 465 I used primer red then clear. It was nearly an exact match. Thanks for all the complements!!
