I finished modifying and repairing the fiberglass parts yesterday.  Randy will send them off for finish body work and painting.

I did make a plug for a big hole in the hood and I tried to do it so that "anyone" would remember to remove the plug before the engine was fired.

We made it to the 1 with the injector cover on.  1st and 2nd were okay, 3rd just didn't want to pull.

John, getting the fiberglass work done thrills the hell out of me!

The nose plug is great-far better than the duct tape we were using!

Thanks again! :cheers:

Sparky - think about this a minute.

What is a hood scoop?  It's a duct.

Buddy's use of that particular product is probably the first bonafide, documentable application of the product.

Everything else is off-label.  :cheers:

Quick update- I'm at Randy's installing the newly worked heads, but the old block is tired-  so far we've has to install 3 helicoil a on the passenger side.

The car is almost ready, and should tech for 200+ with the Additional fire bottle and roof rails

Hopefully they will be stronger. See you next week. I got the money. LOL.
