The car looks great, do you have any pics of the steering setup?

Thanks for all the great comments , I made a few changes and upgrades over the winter . The engine was a little tired , it had been through a couple different cars and was ready to be freshened up . Just a basic re-ring and bearings , new valve springs and valve grind . Oh yeh , I also finally finished getting the blower together . I can't wait to roast the tires !!!!

The blower is a great addition to a very impressive rod. Looks like you have a fun summer in store.
