Just part of the combustion chamber. It looks dark in the phot because of the light. I’ll ask Scott next time I’m over there about it.

Looks like marker pen to me, Steve ? Maybe a reminder for the machinist that he has done some work ?

I asked Scott when I stopped over. He just roughly cleaned up the bowls and those were spots in the chamber he hasn’t touched yet. When he does the final port and cleanup work those spots won’t be there.

Not much of an update. But I can post a couple of pictures from today. The car is getting a full feature in Hemmings because of how happy they were with the article on my SC/Rambler. John the photographer is coming Monday to shoot all the photos. Rather than shoot this car inside he wants to shoot it outside at a couple of industrial or abandoned buildings. The spot I’m most looking forward to is I got approval to take photos in front of California Speed and Sport in New Brunswick NJ, the oldest still operating speed shop on the East Coast. Marty and I took a ride around today to take test photos of where we’re shooting Monday. Marty loves riding in this car and we ended up spending a couple of hours at the skate park. He loves it there.
Thanks for reading. Hopefully I’ll have a stroker engine update and an update Monday when the photographer shows up.

Yesterday evening I did the photo shoot for Hemmings. We ended up doing all of the photos at California Speed and Sport. It worked at well because it was overcast yesterday so we didn’t have to fight with the sun.

Enjoy the photos from the shoot. I also have 1 of the Hi Res photos because John stayed up all night processing all of them. But I may have to post that in a separate post.

Attempting to post one of the professional photos.

I was able to upload it but had to lower its quality. Hopefully it still looks good.

Congrats on the upcoming feature, and I love that old concrete street marker sign at the corner of the speed shop building!
