Thanks for the info on the engine. I have been considering that engine when I start my project. I think that it's a good baseline to learn the car with and still be able to later modify/update if the need for more power is there. I'm trying to take a page from Mark's build about weight though without the carbon fiber. It's nice but a little above my pay grade.

I like the color choice given how well the car turned out. I don't think Fathom Green ever looked that good back in the day. I hope to meet you at the Lat-G get together to get some ideas from you.

Look forward to meeting you and spending some time talking at the get together. Glad you like the paint. I am loving it this time, the first time it was painted by the rip off hack shack the paint looked OK from 15ft but I was not sure about the green. But now it's amazing, even my wife told me she can't believe how much better it looks. We went and stopped over to Dutchboys the other day and she remarked the car looks "bad ass" in her terms from the back!

See ya in a few days!

Rod...if you run the same engine setup, please do me a favor. USE BETTER VALVE COVERS!! :lmao: Come on Chris, at least take the cheap route and paint those suckers like I did.

OK smart ass! I just can't figure out which valve covers to go with, I know the ones I want but as we talked about yesterday can't quite pull that trigger yet.:bang:
But I did spend some of the day looking and found out any good valve covers are not cheap, but what is!!

So next week Curtis you can help me find some "BETTER VALVE COVERS" :warning: :lmao:
And the first beer is on me!

Valve covers are a highly emotional decision on the same level as paint color...don't rush it!

That car sits perfect, and the factory shade of paint is just icing on the cake.
Great job!

The paint on the car turned out great, I never would have thought fathom green would look that good!

We like to go the extra mile in some areas on the cars we do that some people over look. You will usually find the paint on the bottom of the rockers and quarter panels just as nice as the top of the car.
