Thank you - and humbled to be compared to Super Dave. What what I did was not much more than a cosmetic re-fresh with some basic mechanical upgrades - nothing nearly as complicated or technical as what he does on his builds.

Jake,
To do this all in your spare time wihile still participating in family functions. No easy feat.
From sending items out to get re-done, to your attention to detail, it's going to represent well @ MCACN.
Your pops would be proud.

Here are the pics of the carbs as unboxed from Eric and then on the car. He sent me the procedure for adjusting the linkage and I still need to do that. Yeah, I know the intake looks a little dingy but it is a lot cleaner than when I started...........

As part of my test drive loop I made a stop at my favorite photo spot and took some updated pictures now that things are winding down.

Fantastic job Jake! Pops would be proud. I've said this before, but pics don't do the car justice.
The car turned out killer!

This is a great example that shows where the little details can make all the difference. What a stunner!
