LOVE seeing Chevy hot rods powered by non-Chevy mills! HUGE improvement over the stocker.

Lyle, you flat out "own" that style of Hot Rod. Nobody does these builds better than you. You have all of the details perfect....the colors, the wheels and tires and the stance....you nail every one of these points. Beautiful....just beautiful.

I like the overall execution, Lyle. I love the little irony of using a lighter body for a gas tank.
