                        I figured if any of the bb's would appr., this this board would.  We worked this weekend to have her fired up for the first time.  The engine is a 1960 GMC V-6 (detroits first V-60  YES the Plaid Valve Covers are OEM original NAD some rare).   

                        OOOOHHHH she roars, without mufflers. The guy in the photo's is a friend who is an excellent mechanic who got me all spec'd in.  I'm like a proud papa.  Enjoy, and to keep this model related, I'm building a scratch model of the engine to go along with the 1960 Chevy/GMC truck model I'm modifying.

                        Always nice to hear the rumble of Detroit iron.  Keep us posted on the progress of your project.
