That's it Thanks!!

It's all about how much work and time you have to put into it. Here is one of mine, this is one part of my truck that I worked very hard on and wanted it to pop...

Here's my '87s. IT'S NEVER DONE THOUGH!!

Thumpin455 · 09-13-2008, 03:23 PM

Dirty and no chrome anywhere...

Might make some aluminum valve covers for it though, havent decided yet.

My toy, not big on flashy stuff. Got talked into chrome covers for this one by a friend. They leak like mad and dont have baffles in them. Annoying but they do clear the stud girdle.. 700hp Pontiac, even if it doesnt look it.
