Snap-on????  I didn't connect the dots.  Do you give discounts to forum members?  You could pay for that engine with Hitman forum sales.

That is one sweet looking engine.  I really thought you were insane for taking that car apart.  It was beautiful the way it was.  But, I've got to hand it to you.  It's now magnificent!!!!

Is that a drain valve on the side of the block?

Billy, she is looking sweet. I wish I had the talent (and $$) to have done my TATA like that. I am getting there, but very slowly.

Ask Brett to add you as a vendor below.  I order snap-on stuff all the time.  I'd rather order from you than through the snap-on web site.  Any excuse to buy tools!!!

who's Brett? technically i can't SAY i sell Snap-On tools online. i'd have to use my INC. name and "quality tools" on here. however you all know who i am and what i sell. these days i can get all kinds of stuff through them, not just snap-on brand! it's been cool being able to sell things that aren't Snap On in case the customer wants a lower price option.

I have the 17" Snowflakes from Year One. I almost went with a 17" Cobra style wheel but everyone warned me against using knock-off wheels. I'm close to buying bigger brakes for mine too, want to do the a-arms, coil-overs and brakes all in one shot.

Keep the pics coming, it's good motivation!

i'd really like to see what the YO snowflakes look like on the TATA. got any pics? i thought about going with the 18" versions, but i heard they kinda difficult to deal with.
