Ol" Blue Run's Again.
Took Ol'Blue down to get the exhaust hooked up tonight. I'll sure be glad when she is done. Here is some pics

Re: Ol" Blue Run's Again.
Nice looking engine - I'm sure you'll be pretty happy to get it on the road again.

Re: Ol" Blue Run's Again.
Drove it down to my buddy's exhaust shop. NO HOOD! OPEN HEADERS! AND MY BIG FOOT! Wow that was fun. It turns those 37's like they are stock tires.

Re: Ol" Blue Run's Again.
looks like all blue needs is a paint job and a hood to be all brandnew again! i wish my truck was at the exhaust point right now

Re: Ol" Blue Run's Again.
Lookin good---especially that Big Block.
I drove my 71 SWB with open headers too. It was fun for a while--good thing the cops weren't around. john

Re: Ol" Blue Run's Again.
Ol' Blue is looking pretty good. I bet that thing sounded mean with open headers...

Re: Ol" Blue Run's Again.
On the road again.
I just can't wait, to get on the road again. Seeing places that I'll never see again, I can't wait to get on the road again. Sorry, that song immediately popped in my head when I read the title for some reason. New engine: $3000.00 New headers: $225.00 New exhaust: $300.00 Driving to the muffler shop with open headers, no hood, and a grin the size of Texas while neighbors and all onlookers get annoyed: $PRICELESS$

Re: Ol" Blue Run's Again.
I wish the motor only cost me that much! The cowl hood is at home awaiting it's time to become one with Ol"Blue. I would love to paint her, nothing awesome. Just a good shinny paint job. But crap everyone around here wants 5k to paint her!
