I mostly just took a blob and let it begin to drip and then guided the drip onto the manifold in roughly the shape I wanted. Then, as it began to cure just a bit I would use a clean toothpick to straighten it up and push the sagging edges back into place. Once the JB Weld was completely cured I used a Dremel with a 1/16'' drill bit to profile the numbers and letters by swiping the drill bit against the sides. I rounded off the edges just a bit with the Dremel and a small grinding stone.
I started running short on time, interest and JB Weld and left off the firing order marks that would go in front of the carb. I'm not trying to fool anyone anyway. Just having some fun.

Great detail work, I'm especially impressed with the date coding work on the water crossover.
Most folks would look at it and immediately think it's a factory intake.
