Great progress.
What is the purpose of the propane set-up?
I've never seen that around these here parts on a gas engine :jester and I usually associate this to diesel operation for a power adder.

Re: Frame,motor and paint progress pics (78Vette-SA)
The propane system was put in place of the gas tank as the cost of propane is less then half the price of gas. I bought the car this way and drove it last summer like that. If you build the engine right you can get the HP out of it but i went and put it back on gas. It just feels right weather it cost more or not.

Re: Frame,motor and paint progress pics (verskel)
l have been fighting over this all winter and l was going between Flame Orange or Millennium Yellow and the Yellow is the winner. The paint is not bought yet so you never know until the first coat is put on.
