You might try Burns Stainless for your exhaust stuff.

Unfortunately,no one carries a collector like I need. I'll have to have it custom built.

Fred, they do, but Vince at Burns  is on vacation for another week!


Hey- The cam showed up!

This is a monster grind, by Bullet Cams. .525 lift, 280 duration- huge for a flathead!
Joe Paneck did the billet blank.

That's a big bump for a long, three bearing cam.  Specs?

Be gentle at the strip - I expect to take a closer look at this in August.  :-D

Thanks Woody!

Chris, the HAMB drags are on August 20th, after B'ville!

Specs are .525 lift, 280 duration.

Does your wife know that you took her plant trellis for the project?  Tony

Hopefully she doesn't use it to grow green beans or cucumbers :-o

Roses, Zenndog, Roses!

The pic is decieving, Trent. It was cloudy out, but the color is bright red. In fact, it's called 'Bright Red'! It's just an enamal paint.

Years ago I painted my '72 El Camino Viper red. Best red I have ever used. Give it a look when making your choice.

Oh yeah, I painted the Rally wheels yellow. Only three peopl liked the wheels, the guy I paid, the painter and me. I did get a bunch of thumbs up though. Joanie gave me so much flack that I ended up repainting the wheels body color.
