The motor looks OUTSTANDING!  I think if you put some carpet, seats and a console in that beauty she's look really nice all buttoned up.  Can't wait to see her finished.  Excellent start. 

Oh Yeah, Welcome to 78ta.com

Like others said - the motor looks fantastic.  Drop some shots in on the body.

He's a newbie ... back off.

Images sizes ...
160x120 is a postage stamp - too small, no detail.  Usually a thumbnail for an image that spawns the big brother picture.
640x480 is about right
1024x768 and they start to get too large ... and people running 14" monitors start to whine.

i understand. i finally figured out how to make the pics larger, car nut not computer guru. carb is a 750 edelbrock with electric choke. took a tuna fish can and modified the inside of the air cleaner base. the carb in the soda blasting post is the one on the car. i am a purist with a personality. so it shows in my cars.

Also, you have the option to "modify" your post and add back in the larger pix vs. a new thread.  Rainman & Sooner are pixel hounds so I had to break out the belt ... it's all good.
