the Turbo '67 Falcon is coming togther. Turbo hot side pipe went on today, still have to fabricate the exhaust block off/ outlet, but I got a gasket made for it, that I'll use as a pattern. maby sometime in sept, it will be done. oh, I have no hood clearence for the carb, so I bought a reverse teardrop scoop, gotta make room so I'll do it in style. might have to offset it a little, that'll raise question at the car shows as to why.
 
sorry it took so long, internet gave up last night during the first upload, couldn't get a decent connection after that, but I got them done tonight, so here they are.

the valve cover is painted special, kind of, it's Dupli color spray paint, but it's done in multiple coats. I first painted it with high heat aluminum color, then got the metalcast red and sprayed 2 light coats, the pictures do not do the color justice, it has a very deep appearence and when the light shines on it, it changes from the deep red to a more copper color.
 
I got the Turbo hot side pipe on today, have to create the block off/ exhaust out flange tomorrow, and adjust the wastegate screamer pipe to fit, I eyeballed it when I cut and welded it up and well, it dosn't fit quite right, but I'll cut the pipe at an angle and weld it back up, it will fit after that.
