    I have been waiting on some engine parts for my 303 olds from Ross racing engines was looking at my fairlane sitting in the corner of the shop and decided the headers and latter bars need a fresh coat of white. Pulled the headers going to beadblast then paint they need it after setting for 35 years. 20240106_135429.jpg 20240106_135441.jpg 20240106_135503.jpg 20240106_135532.jpg 20240106_135607.jpg

    Taking time out from the Model A metal fab to do a full inspection on a these cylinder heads i picked up. I'm going to upgrade them with some better Manley SST valves, smooth out the sharp edges, and maybe do a little mild porting.
