Did the dirt come with it, or did you have to pay extra for that?

Installed an Edelbrock 14x3", put a fender back on and drove it for about 50 miles just to get some miles on her after sitting.

I'm liking the blue man! I thought about going blue on my valve cover's to match the gasket, but went red instead....

^well done on all the pics to show off the "grease under the fingernail" work!!

I went to town to clean the intake manifold faces with a an air grinder. This after removing one broke bolt, up front. Heat, penetrating oil, and vice grips lead to victory!


Then I painted my new M1 with VHT paint. Also gonna do the timing cover and accessory bracket after having them washed at a machine shop. Idea about timing cover from stewie!

My new valve covers are already wrinkle black.
