Damn I like those pics. Sounds like it's going to be a beast.

Sick. I can't wait to hear it tuned with a good exhaust on there.

Btw, fire your cameraman.

Thanks, and this was shot from some kind of Sony digital. It's ment to take pictures and it was about 10 degrees out.

If anyone is wondering why the oil fill neck is half painted I have breathers on the way.

Thanks for the comments.

Heh, I have one of those too. It will only hold like 20 minutes of video... But hey, that engine bay looks clean as hell, keep up the good work. I wanna see some nice high res pics when it warms up!

These things always sound way meaner untuned. Get it on the ragged edge of being able to idle and get some video clips. My 408 sounded like an absolute monster when I first started it . I could BARELY drive it down the street. But it did sound like the world was coming to an end
