Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
You did a great job on the heads...are you planning to pull out a rotary tool and smooth it all out too? (Might as well...)

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
that would sure look killer...but...NO, it was a big enough pain to just strip it , i cant even imagine how much time it would take to smooth them out !!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Haha! I couldn't even imagine ever doing it. I love going to shows and staring at details, but to honest, a smoothed block is never a detail I look for or even have ever noticed.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
if i would smooth some of the block out i would do the valey and all the holes to get the castingflash out and improve crackresistance and oil flowback

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Looks good man! Love the wheels! How did you strip the block? I've got a few different coats of paint on mine and having a hell of a time getting it off. Cory

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
No kidding. My wife always doubles the amount of money I think a project will take and triples the amount of time I think it will take. She has been pretty close to right every time.
