I can't tell if it's just the lighting in the pic of the painted engine bay or my monitor- did you stray away from the stock Olympia Blue? One of the other guys (I think Frank) on mazdarepu.com has an S5 engine in his truck as well... an Olympia Blue '74, if I remember correctly.

Looks nice! I love these trucks!

Neal.

Im thinking about the same thing, TII Housings, Streetport, but my S5 motor will
be carbed with a Dell 48 for the old school look.

And mikewoodkozar go to www.mrcmt.com and you will see 3 or 4 or our repus.

i dont know what the factory color its a greenish blue.

Never seen a Dynamic Chamber like that, how did you do it? Looks sharp, along with the engine bay and choice of body color. Unfortunately, restoring my REPU is a ways off but looking at your's gives me hope for 'someday'.
