Hey Dave.....hows the project goin'? I just did my seals on my "rebuilt" heads.....they had left off the o-ring seals underneath the keepers. Now I know why....what a pain in the..... My car was smokin' really good, now not even a puff. Took me about 2 days. Hows the paint?

Someone was just gettting his digs on Shamdave for sanding the paint off his car with 40 grit sandpaper....it was a epic thread some time ago. The car is being repainted properly as we speak. I am rooting for him.
