So the chrome trim will be left body color or BMF'd?

Great colors and nice work with the masking.

BMF`d. The flames where done using pre-shaped/cut maskingfoil i found on ebay . So i take no credit for masking it lol

I did suspect it and tonight i got it confirmed. The stacks are too tall so they touch the hood. I`m not cutting the hood and the

motor is pretty much done,i guess i`ll save it for somthing else. I started an attempt at making a flathead v12 instead. I could

have bought one,but it`s 30$,and then there is shipping from AUS.

I`ll have some pics later on.

You could cut the stacks/injector tubes down or change the intake manifold...

Thanks for the suggestion and comments.

Been fondling with this,v12 flathead supercharged and two Webers. I`ll get it painted tomorrow,then make the brakets

for the supercharger,wire and plumb a little, and the new alternator position. Also i have to extend the manifoil on both sides.

Not pull thru carb,but the idea was for the charged air to mix with the carb fuel/air to mix in the plenum.

Some pictures from today. More fiddle to be done. I will have to try make two distributors,also the blow-off is a joke lol
