    Had this made. Thought it was a nice touch! Country

    I'll post better pics as I get them. Soon as the engine breaks in, I'm track bound. I did run the quarter though, the best speed according to my speedometer was 103. The track will tell. Country

    Looking good Country Mav. Looks like you have a real runner there! 1 thing though, I am assuming that you got your 103 mph from driving down the street? Just remember when you put her on the strip its a whole new ball game there! I think you could ask some of the folks that went to the round-up and ran their cars for the first time on the strip......completely different than the street. Thanks for your enthusiasm! It helps keep guys like me motivated to continue with my car!

    Never did thank ya'll

    I apoligize for never thanking ya'll for the comments on my car. I just bought a set of chrome valve covers that say 302. I'm kinda excited over that. I'll keep ya'll posted. C- ya'll. Country

    Awesome Mav Country!!! very impressive I must say. I have almost the identical valve covers. Im thinkin of painting the raised portion same blue as the engine. I really like the paint scheme of the car also.
    I sent Stefan some pics to post, I hope he can get the up...I need some suggestions and comments on a paint scheme.
    Keep up the GREAT work.
    Thx, Rick:clap: :bananaman
