    Ok Joe, that looks badass. Those exhaust manifolds came out great
    also. Having them grind smooth really set them off. Great work dude.

    Where did you get the blue air filter. I have looked every where around here for one. Also saw the photo of your engine earlier and made a rubber piece to go on the radiator core support like yours. By the way it looks great.

    Thanks Guys for the compliments. The shroud is the factory piece by Custom Coatings in Tallahasse,FL. The Radiator hoses are sleeves the rest are real braided. The radiator support cover I got last year at Columbus Expo Swap Meet, don't know what it came off of. I just cut it to fit just to hide the holes in the core support. The filter is Accell my housing is 13'' and the only blue filter I could find was 14'' so I just cut it to make it fit, put the cut in the back. Pulling the rear end next just to detail so it's purty.
