Thanks guys, appreciate the nice words.
Managed to stop in at oil filter sales and service this morning and picked up a bunch of fittings.
First up on the to do list was to make some modifications to the fuel rail. Cut off the excess brackets for what I believe was the coil covers. Then I drilled out a -6 steel fitting until it sat right on the inner ridge of the fuel rail return fitting and brazed it on.
Did the same thing on the supply line only with a -8 line on this one.
Rails are early corvette with supply and return lines.
Then what started out as some prep for paint turned into a couple hours with red scotch brite pad, some 320 grit sandpaper and some matte clear and finally think that I am happy with the results. Normally the stock rails are a little less than pretty. Think this is an ok outcome of trying to save a few bucks.
Also picked up some 6x1x110 bolts for the intake, got it all cleaned up, cleaned the heads off and stuck that pig down for good.
Also had to see what the engine bay is going to look like with the inner fenders on.
Turbo might show up tomorrow.....little bit excited about that one.
