Nah, not me...you wouldn't believe some of the skanks I've been around over the years....smelled plenty worse than that. Remind me to tell ya about "Neck To Knees" sometime. It's a story about an 18year old guy and a 35 year old 3-input woman. Let's just say things looked like a crime scene when all was said and done.

Very **** on the bagging and tagging, and I like how the intake ports on the heads are covered in the same size tape each!
Looks like it's at the point now where it might never run again j/k

LOL, just for easier access in general

LMAO,
Ya how much "time" do you have into her so far?
Looks like you are doing it right, no short cuts, "in the way, take it off" type job.
I love it, you're working like I dream of working.
By the time I have the "go fast parts" in my hands, I don't have time to keep ANY thing clean

thanks guys
OK, one question/possible issue I have is regarding the fuel feed line. When I was removing it from beneath my rear x-over fuel hard line I kinked it. The part I'm talking about is the 6" section of black flex line. What is this made out of? rubber, hard nylon? where the line was kinked, it feels like some of the integrity of the fuel line was compromised (i.e. when I pinch the line between my fingers where it is kinked it is noticeably easier to do so then other parts); leads me to believe it is a semi hard line not meant to be kinked as opposed to a high pressure rubber line.
anyone have some insight?
