Sorry about them being rexes for some of you. I'm using imagestation and am trying to figure out why they only work half of the time now. I never had this problem before.

Congratulations! You have done a fine job.

I enjoy that project very much as well. Here is a 1966-67 GM aluminum intake as it came to me from EBay last summer.



And here it is now.
