Had to clean the gas filler tube in the trunk. for some reason it started to get rust and corrosion inside it. I made a soak tub out of 6x6 blocks and a heafty garbage bag, filled it with CLR and dropped the tube in it.

Well Sheldon, a nice 440 would look nice in that engine bay but that is a little over stock.
Very nice work so far.

Do you have a paint program on your computer ? If so you can resize them using that. If you need help, I'll walk through it with you.
