Re: Some more progress pics...and the engine!!
That thing looks better everytime you post... lookin' good!
bigdon I'm currently in Poplar Bluff. The trip was kind of last minute, so I hated calling incase you had other things going on. I should have another trip in the next couple of weeks, so I'll give you a call, and maybe I'll be able to check out your Blazer.

Re: Some more progress pics...and the engine!!
the engine looks even better than you described on the phone!!! very nice! the Hedmans should give you a nice increase in hp and torque. looks like a 650 or 700 Holley????
and it goes without saying, the body is coming out beautifully! Rayburn takes his time, but it's soooooo worth it!

Re: Some more progress pics...and the engine!!
Nice!!!! I like those black headers. What did you use for paint on the block, heads, and manifold? I'm getting close to painting mine. Thanks

Mario, That is the part number as far as I know. My buddy was in charge of that detail. I will have to check the Hedmann website closer. Don
