TRW slugs with LY Rods and ARP Hardware.

'51 F1, it's actually my bodymans truck, doing a bunch of mechanical stuff on it for him. I kept some of it, but let a lot of it go. Progress will be slow, but that's life. I found a pint of Hemi Orange buried in my paint cabinet that a friend had mixed back in 87 for his Superbird's U code...
