Goes good with all that other cadmium bling!

Robert,

     I saw your car at the Grand National last month and it is beautiful!  It was nice meeting you in person at the meeting.

Nice meeting you too at the chapter meeting. I hope to see you next year in Murfreesboro. 

Thanks Rob.  Hope to make it.  Again, after all your hard work, it's a great car!

Pretty car. Great color!   It'll be worth all the hard work along the way.

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
