Who stuck that carburettor in my new stainless steel toilet?
OMG, that thing should breath like a Democrat sucking up campaign donations.
Too much engine for this Little Black Duck.

That sure is a nice feature at Vintage to be able to see the progress on their website in the gallery.
What color is your car? It's hard to tell from the pics exactly what color your BDR is with those flash pics. Looks real good though.
Feels sort of like being a little kid waiting for Christmas, doesn't it. BTDT.
Delivery will come sooner than you think. Try to be patient.
Cheers!
Dave

Instead of messing with the water hoses, put a surge tank on it to finish off the original look. One of those billet jobs from Kirkham would probably look nice, or Southern has them as well.
Did you get any dyno numbers on it?

Jim,
We have already done a SPAL upgrade which should cover it. For the really hot setups we have a new single fan (16") setup that is also nice.

Jay, I don't like to give a way too many secrets, but I'll throw you a bone. FE swivel thermostat housing.
