Looking good. How much longer, or is it going to be like all the TV shows where they are there until 4:00 in the morning of the reveal day putting the final pieces together ?

Don't worry, he has specific instructions to keep adding sandbags till it sits just like yours!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

Pepi, I'm sure there will be a small team working on the car in the trailer on the way to Chicago, but hopefully not too much more after she's unloaded

I wonder if they are the original heads? The only reason I say that is $2760.00 is a lot of money for a valve job/ mill for the year 2000. That sounds more like it would have included buying the heads for that money

I can tattoo my name upside down on my belly so I know who I am. I guess that doesn't help you guys much, though.

Name tags... That's a great idea. With both your PY handle and your name on it. I'll have some name tags on a card table at the show space.

That's one less name tag I will have to provide!

''Does anyone else have a set of heads that were worked on by Nunzi, or that can verify this was his head hammering goin' on? ''




I have an SR I167 7F6 head that went through Nunzi's sometime before the mid eighties. I bought this head in 1986, and it had been run for at least a few years before that. Attached is a photo of Nunzi's stamping that appears on both ends. There are no other stampings, but I think this head was probably new when sold by Nunzi.

That is cool to see the NUNZI hammered into your heads.

I have been able to confirm that JOB 331 is indeed a Nunzi reference. The source is none other than Nunzi's son Tony. He's a member here on the boards. Tony is currently digging through old files to see if he can find the folder on JOB 331. VERY COOL!

Was going through a few photos today and came across this one. This photo is from a 70 car that belongs to a collector in the Chicago area. I think I might have thrown this out there before but has anyone ever seen a drain hose like this one? Might it be original to some cars? Can't really figure out the propose but maybe this would be correct for Greg' car. Comments please.

Absolutely original and correct Craig. I believe it was designed to keep the end weighted down and also allowed it to be threaded easier down the narrow pathway in front of the engine block. I have the same thing on a 36k mile 70 T/A.

Let me know when you decide to reproduce these, Craig, and I'll buy a couple

Craig,

I have a shaker from a 71 that looks identical. I posted a thread on it before under "scored a free71 shaker today"
