    Wow-O-Wow! That is beautiful! I bet they are old 461X heads converted to angle plug too. The rockers and studgirdle look brand new. Check out the drum brakes! I am surprised, as a trick a car as that i'd expect disc brakes (rotating m*** of the drum).
    How about a ch***is shot so's we can see the water and fuel tank etc? Is it SPE steering (box, spindle and front wheels)?
    Is that a check valve going into the header tube or is it gutted?
    Sorry, just a million questiions and i got carried away.
    Beautiful, just beautiful oj
