$150 tach kinda spendy, why not a wings  SW tach should be cheaper and have a warranty

I think a rossism should be created to explain why we value old shit with no warranty over new shit that looks old and has a warranty. Why many of us would rather drive an old station wagon vs. a new suburban, etc.

Pics

Here are some pics of the new paint booth that my pops and I built a couple weekends ago- it works well and measures 16'x8' so I can fit the body in it when that needs to get painted.

While I was block sanding everything my Dad built the exhaust. I wanted the pipes to exit under the running board right before the rear fenders.  Hopefully my wide whites will get dirty faster this way...

The engine pics show the Davis Custom fuel block and line.  Don't worry, the oil lines are temporary!
