Your first post was 9-23-08, it's now 10-4-08, and you are pissed about taking a breather? Shit. I would have taken 3 times as long to get where you are now. I await the next update.
The build looks cool so far.

197X Maveric used the same type of manifolds. Buddy of mine had them on his B2 swap They worked out great. Check to make sure your Auto dipstick works. I believe my buddy had to make a custom tube from a C4 and C5 and used the C5 stick.

Granada also. been looking at that as far as dip stick tube already have a couple lying around to fab up if nothing else ill buy a flex tube ,they make them for street rod applications .see me building one though. and i toss my progress on my wash tank in here not done but you get the concept, brass fittings would be cool but this works .

and forgot painting frame last nightor this morning it was 328am how i now is i painting away and a voice from behind me say" Little late for painting " scared me shitless . any way is the cops , some one complained about the noise long story short . when he threatened to arrest me for obstruction. i gave up painting .so frame is half painted. he just walked into my shop ????

RCMP's are a bunch of tools. If you were not making excessive noise then he doesn't have a leg to stand on. But if you were grinding and hammering then noise bylaws may come into play.

I love being out in the country. I don't have to worry about this kinda thing.
