My straight 8 gets detailed and then some

Seeing how much of a conversation piece the big ol'8 makes at shows, I thought it deserved to be clean up and made presentable. Also while I was at it I thought I would add the dual carb set up that i've wanted. Check out the pics and let me know what ya think.

It took me just a short time to look at all your pictures but as I have done the same sort of job before I know just how much work it was. Great job!!

I was the same wanting the dual carb set up because my single the exhaust manifold was cracked , then put the duals on from a parts car I had . I got the pedal and everything that way , to put on .The thing is the second carb was intended for passing on highway , not for me couldn't get enough of that special sound when floored then shift then floored .THEN with in 12 miles smoked the clutch - next learning experience putting clutch in 41 buick special . Since then I have been driving her like a dream that never ends . After 4 years of sitting the car is going back together , a guy ran a stop sign one sunday morning and I hit him doing 50 mph .My daughter was in the back seat didn't even know we got in a accident - impact blew all the oil out of the oil bath air cleaner .Love this car and the way it drives .

Getting closer to firing this thing up, picked up my chrome goodies from the chrome shop today. Sure made a awesome change in the look. Here are some new pics.
