KRE & TIP wanted to do something different... thus the 440... and they wanted everything but the block to be from the aftermarket...

Just one of the many "time suckers" of the day... how much shorter can we make the vent tubes?
We figured it out with a quick call to Pro Systems tech line!
And we didn't even drop anything down the carb! :rofl:

Good times! Less than a week tell paint...right? Have they fit the inner fenders and valance yet? With all the Anvil parts there now...does that mean you aren't waiting on anything and can hammer down now?

OLDFLM 10-04-2009 09:37 PM

Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3
 
Test fitting the new lower front valance from Anvil...

What a great day at the shop!!! These guys are amazing!!!!! They've forgetten more than I'll ever know!! :hail:

There's just no way I could have attempted this project without them, their support, and their continued patience as this old 'bird seems to be fighting them every step of the way... :thumbsup:

And thanks for not making fun of me for wanting to get in the car for the first time in almost a year an making "car sounds" like my 5 year old! :woot:
