Hahahaha WSM!  Maybe my new license plate will say Bun Warmer!  Wait, I think that might be too many letters!  LOL   :roflsmiley:  :roflsmiley: 

Joe has been such a sport all through this build, and my friend Rob too.  All 3 of us worked our buns off to get the job done!!!  :clapping:

Looks awesome april. Those are the valve covers I was planning on getting, they look great. I just ordered the 6 - pack style air cleaner for my car. It uses a fiberglass baseplate that fits a 4bbl carb.  Seals to my hood and everything. Can't wait!!  My engine bay will be nowhere near as clean as yours though, thats a next winter project. Great job!

Nice job,  :clapping: good luck getting out the bugs. Timing or a vacuum line could cause the problem you talked about. Thanks for posting the pictures, looks gorgeous and very hot!
That might be one of the Problem but in the pictures that you put up there is no Spark plug wire  that might be the other problem you are having

Why, yes it is!  I know the six pack isn't original but I still enjoy haveing that "stock look".  Good to hear from you Nick, I don't "see" you as often as I used to.  Hope all is well.

Do you think you are ever going to invest in a 6 pack set up?  If not I might have to steal your stripes, LOL.    :swaying:

haha, yeah you're right, I'm slowly cloning my car to a AAR but cheaping out on the 6-pack. If I wasn't buying a new house in 2 mons, you'd see a 6-pack for sure!! Maybe i'll sell enzo, he must have costed me 5K by now(buying the dog, 3000 dollar surgery to remove his chew toy, A LOT OF FOOD, and of course treats!)

April your whip looks sweet! Who did your motor work or did you do it yourself? What components are in the block and any machine work? Where did you get that 6Pak setup?
