Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Yea, it's NOS................Right Mike?
Hey do you have any pics of those spacers you used? Ebay right? I'm still gonna need some for mine to change the bolt pattern and add a bit of spacing.

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...)
