Show winner !
The enginge and undercarriage are completely detailed with chrome plating and polished aluminum pieces throughout. The brakes are powder coated and chromed also. I have been working on this car for the past 26 years and it has been a lot of fun !

Nice! your engine looks great.
Is that 40HP an estimate or did you do dyno runs before and after?

The additional horsepower is an estimate, but I can surely feel the difference with the added parts.
