Got the scoop openings cut out today... In between rain storms that is... Laughing

I still need tomock it back up and get the Dzus fasteners marked and cut in. Hopefully, if things go right I'll have it all primed by weeks end.

Well, just got done cuttin'/buffin' my new hood today. I must say, it looks very nice. Plus it weighs in about 30# lighter than the other hood. And, it's still all steel. Except the scoop that is... Very Happy

The guy in the Camaro is the secretary on the board of my drag racing assn. here. I'm not 100%, but I heard he's running a 709" "BBC" with 3 guns on it. Though he only used 2 here. I don't know if Glidden is still running his 400" SBF or not,but I "heard" he still was. The 1st time I saw this, I laughed til I cried.

Not to bust any ones bubble but Billy is no longer running the Blue Oval. The name seem to slip me but he is running a guy's Brand x motor out of Texas and has improved it some where near .2ths. He has stated he's pretty much put the small Ford to its limits with out going Turbo.
