Richard's '70 Chevy Malibu's 355 small block recently had a blower which died. Now it puts out 350 bhp with a 144 Holly, Saginaw 4-speed trans pushing a 3.73 rear end instead of the 4.30. It has a 3" exhaust. The ladder bars came off with the blower & 100 extra horsepower, & Richard hopes to have it all back together soon.

He's had it for 5 years & drives it about 500 miles a year.

These look too light in color managed Firefox3. Firefox 3 "Enable Color Management" Trick., but look better in Internet Explorer.

I like the series, except for the lens glare in the 3rd shot. :(

The stars on the hood, or the flare in the grill? I didn't see that when I shot it.

I meant lens flare, although, I said lens glare. But, yes, I was referring to the glare in the grill.

I tried shading the lens hood with my hand, but couldn't keep the hand far enough out of the frame. I agree about the flare in the grill. Sometimes I like flare, but these shouldn't have been allowed to stay in the shot. Whoever steals the image can PS them out. :D
