[ATTACH] I have more, somewhere.
Yes, it was leaded and the bodyline was filled and smoothed. All of the work done for the chop was leaded. The cowl vent was also leaded in. It's...
I agree with you on this. I have a large family scattered all over the place. Two of my aunts used to do a family newsletter that came out...
My favorite of the last 8 years or so is Rage Extreme. Not sure what it costs, that's just what I prefer at work. They pushed a new 3M product on...

WOW!!! ^^^^^^^ Gorgeous automobile!
I never looked for it when I took the pictures. The next time I go over to the shop I will check that and let you know what I find. It could...
Are you sure you saw the last four pictures I posted. The first two pictures were used stock cams for reference. the last four were of the regrind.

When the top was chopped, the upper hinges were deleted. That is the part of the door that they cut out.

I love the way that one sounds. Must have a hot cam in it. Cool picture! I have a picture of that school and that car, just not together like that.
