Just booked my room in Columbus.....so bring on the WHOOMPA!
This is total badassary it's coming together like this! What an awesome story this will make. I WANT one of the recreation pictures. I will gladly pay for a copy.
Hopefully, the re-creation picture of the April 75 CarCraft picture will grace a new cover of CarCraft.
We will supply Butch a table and chair in the HDK tent at the Nats, I'm sure he will have a pocketfull of Sharpies. Glad I saved all the rubber I scrapped out of the rear wheel wheels and inner quarters.
Headlines 6:00am 7/18/2018.....heading this morning to Michigan to pick up the Flash's Hemi......Whoooompa!
572 Hemi, 300/590 solid lifter stick for good crackle but reliable show duty. MSD crank trigger ignition firing N.O.S. Accel 16 plug distributors. Matched 1050 4500 Dominator carbs on a Weiand magnesium manifold.
Got the rear end finished except that the ladder bars are at the platers. Nice to see wheels and tires on the back of it. Denny thinks he will probably put the engine in tomorrow and all glass gets installed Monday.

Are those the thin stamped alum. covers ? I couldn't stop the ones I tried from leaking, went back to the stock steel ones.
yes they are the thin aluminum.....we will see. Do...or did they make steel dual plug valve covers?
I only have three sets of them....2 NOS that have never been bolted on a motor, 1 set slightly used / bolted on.
If anything else.....great wall hangers.
