You have gotten a lot done since I last checked in. It's looking really good!

Thanks, I try to get something done every day but sometimes my wife has other plans!

Today I worked on some science projects, not really ready to share these until I know if they are going to work or not.

I also went ahead and bended (bent?) up a power steering return line using my old Papco flaring tool. It came out fair so I'm happy with it. I have the pressure side on order.

I wanted to secure the spark plug wires a bit better, I hate when plug wires are just laying around like a teenager. I started with some 3/8" Nicop (I have a buch of bending mis-steps I hang on to just for things like this). Hammered the crap out of it until it was flat and shaped them to fit.

I had some of the plastidip in black I bought at the Walmart for fixing some things on my Firebird. Used it to coat the brackets.

Bracket on driverside, I used black heatshrink on this one instead of plastidip (I was in a hurry for some reason).

And yes, I used zipties to hold the wires together. Mostly because I am cheep!

Date code on block, F21 72 - July 21st, 1972 in case you are curious, and who ain't?

I have been working on a side project that was triggered by my wife's hobby. She likes to make things with 2 part epoxy so I thought I could make a gear shift knob out of the epoxy. The hardest thing is making the mold. It came out okay.

I have been looking for an air cleaner I liked but couldn't find one so I decided to make one. I had in my mind a dual snorkel with ducting but I ended up having to make one from a couple of '79 g-body cleaners I had laying around. Still have some finish work to do but I think it's going to work.

Tremendous work looks like came out of a 55 Chevy
Does it have a road draft system on it?

Thanks, it seems when I get tired of working on the regular stuff I can keep interested by doing something kinda off the wall.

Thanks, I like the 283 look but this one is actually a 350 running a pcv system.
