I only have one problem with all the pictures and it has nothing to do with the amazing build that is going on. PAINT THE SNOWPLOW ON THE INTERNATIONAL!!!!!! We scrape and repaint all our plows every couple of years. Helps keep that rust in check. That bothers me :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Okay back on the meds :sick :sick :sick So will this build break the small block record? Enquiring mind would like to know.

That is a must do. I was planning on putting on a set of round plow lights (per your recommendation) and having the plow powder coated and detailed last summer, but it never happened :shrug .

It may be :stir When I put together the 440+6BBL Road Runner, I never thought it would lead the pack of 6BBL's, but it does. The 340 will have the steam it needs to get the job done. With Chris tuning the Mill it may be very possible.

Looking good Ralph. I thought Sharleen's car was gonna be a cruizer and driver not a Supercar? That would be cool if Sharleen's racing the car :rock

I hope all is well, take care, Juan.
