We don't do "Judged Events" anymore. Too many tractor mechanics who think they're musclecar experts.

I used to be impressed with your attention to detail; then I noticed that you don't even know where the oil cap goes. Looks like you need some instructions from the SCW guys. (But then, we could all use that, right? )

Seriously, she's lookin GREAT. Can I have a ride sometime?

I'd like to get in line for a ride right after DC...the line forms to the left...

I won't even tell you what those pics do to me!!! Those are SO nice. It really gives me something to aspire too...

Thanks for the info. I have some correct, date coded manifolds that I want to 'fix' up and install.

Bruce is correct..............Calyx........Glass Bead the manifolds then rub on the Calyx Paste(It's like a Graphite and wax mix)......after they are coated you just take a rag and wipe the manifolds to even out the coating.......If they ever start to look bad you just smear some more on and they look new again......
