so what all are you doin to it just the rebuild?

just a rebuild on the motor, it will be SFBD enought to lay door, but not cut for it, they make pavement for that full out build, not a resto. If your asking about the motor, about details, the block and heads are getting painted HOK sunset pearl. All brackets and screws, valve covers, pulleys, and intake are getting black chrome, and the accessories ate getting black powder coat.

yep, saw that, hes using a stock frame though, they are an odd shape to lay out on. But, oddly enough, his name is the same as mine.
