1973 Corvette Restoration

Thursday, December 02, 2004


Intake is bolted down - new water pump in place (waiting on new bolts) - new valve covers are in - look even better in person - very highly polished aluminum Posted by Hello


I received the new valve covers from Paragon - Should look good when the new chrome ignition shielding comes - few more weeks Posted by Hello
