I think it looks great. Would like to see more of it. You're not going to be short on ponys under the hood!

when you say "small junk headers" were you referring to the manifolds in your pics?

I would say he's referring to the headers used on the engine dyno pull - not those lovely cast iron works of art... (that I am working out how to afford...)

Great dyno numbers - that thing must hit like a sledgehammer!!

 

[super-bee_ski]

Yikes!

 

[Brandy]

Wow! That must throw up into the air a big ole patch of concrete when it takes off. beautiful body on there ,nice all around.

No not the manifolds,I had a pair of old rusty 1 5/8 headers.

Anyone know where I can get a turquoise steering wheel. The tan one stands out like a sore thumb.

I restored and painted a tan one turquoise. It turned out pretty good, although for originality sake it's supposed to be molded turquoise plastic. But it's hard to find originals in the correct color in good condition.
