Ellis, looking good, however, why painting it? The last time I saw it, it looked great, like a new paint job. Looks like body work, so maybe tire clearance? Also, how is the motor and the go fast stuff going?

Off Topic:
I may have an issue with my motor. I have about a 20% difference in psi from low to high cylinder. All I have currently is a comp tester, though I can likely still pin point the issue. However, I think you offered to let me use your leak down tester, as mine was loaned and never returned; offer still there if needed?
One question to the motor master. I am getting slight oil puddling on top of my intake valves, all holes. Is there any way to test the valve stem seals while head on the car, as I think they may have installed the incorrect ones.
On Topic:

Thanks Robert
