I have a feeling your wife is going to tell you that the bathroom faucet has a leak.

With a layout in the kitchen like that I would be surprised if he was married. Takes me back 40 years ago when I would sit at a card table and rebuild carbs in the family room!

I am still trying different ones, I had the triangle Edelbrock but sucked it in while on the Dyno....With the 4" cowl hood I do have a pretty fair amount of room

Nice car dude. The site is expensive I've spent 12K in the past 2 months on LS6, procharger etc.
.....serious cash going in....serious enjoyment coming out! (hopefully)

Nice workroom BTW. I have a similar situation where my garage was turned into living space and I'm changing it back to workroom. Yours gives me some ideas. If you have any good suggestions for the layout pls fwd.
