Well, it's right over three hours from Columbia, so add 1oo or so miles from that.

I can't make it to the Eureka Springs event so I hope you can make it to this one.

yes they sure are . your spot on. i like them cause they arent chrome like most covers and have that raw alloy look. everyone here has edelbrock stuff mostly so i was trying to be different. hence the gm fast burn heads under them .
