TedsModeling Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Excellent engine plumbing! Really looks nice. What is the single line on the left side of the injectors that loops up to the top edge? The header flange around the header bolts looks a little rusty. How did you get such a light, blended-in effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasser59 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 That shift box, as well as everything else, looks fantastic John. I don't know how your chassis stay so clean with all of the handling it takes. my chassis always seems to get thin paint or, at a minimum, the paint gets dull.
