    Thanks to Shawn Dill for hooking me up with the most iconic fueler parts ever to grace a early Hemi. Polished 5 fin Donovan valve covers. Simply timeless.

    Great chassis work...everything where it belongs.

    Please enlighten me: What's a 'reverser'? (I know it's to 'back up', but how and where does it fit???)

    Superb thread. Hi, Carl!

    "Matt the kid" bought my Magnesium Americans and Radir hard walls and I used the money to up grade to these. WOW what a difference.

    I do have some updates. Bought new front wheel and tire's. I had to machine the bearing to fit the spindles. I also got the rearend together, added some more tubes to the chassis, got the coupler fit, made a fuel pedal, and some other little BS. I'll try to keep up with better with the updates. I also scored some titanium valved ported,O-ringed heads, and a billet stroker crank, and billet main caps.

    Man,you do some very nice work.I really like how you carried that gorgeous wood grain over from the wheel,to the brake handle,to the throttle....the details on that car are really impressive.
    I bet it's gonna make a ton of power with those heads too...
