    I got my engine bay cleaned up and painted, looks ok. I tried painting my chrome valve covers, not sure if I like them this way. Me and buddy started putting my engine together this weekend but the lifters in my Comp Cam kit are to big. I think they were packaged wrong the number on the lifter box is for a Pontiac. Sure was P.Oed cause we would have got it together today. Oh well we packed up shop and went to Lineville Al. to a car show this evening, had a great time!

    Add a little red, orange, and yellow to the flames and they will be sharp! Interesting color choice on the block, too. Should stand out against the black bay....
