Stay at home and get some work done.

This is the original hood from my car. It had some damage and was easier to replace than repair. In the upper right in yellow marker is 409. On the other side, now somewhat faded is SS. They are upside down so the hood must have been hung by the hinge end when it was marked.

So without putting you on the spot or revealing any secrets,...... in general what do refurbished W-engine tri-power rigs go for these days? I have one on my 348, but just had to source some end carbs, have all three colored to match (not the right term), and rebuild them. Just curious.

12-1500 is about average the last time that I looked.

I normally get around $1,300.00 for a 3 X 2 set up. Parts for a conversion set cost around $450.00 plus the linkage. Carb rebuild kits cost around $35.00 and of course cost for the intake and the 2 GC carbs, which are getting very hard to find. Show Cars gets $300.00 each for their rebuilt 2 GC carbs. There is a lot of labor involved cleaning up the intakes and carbs, removing the splash shield and bead blasting. I am retired and try to do at lease 2 sets over the winter for Pate. I have two more intakes but only 4 carbs, two carbs are original front and rear for a 58. You have to be careful and look real close at these old carbs base plates to make sure they seal tight or the engine will not iddle right. (some are just wore out) Lots of work.

My project should be putting more wax on and doing less waxing off .
Judging on how dirty it is under Greta's hood.

But it sure is fine... just drivin' my Fifty Nine...

Don't have a car to work on but the last 2 days decided the shop needs a cleaning. Brought my old shelves home when I retired so just decided to put them in use. Been setting in the basement.


Cleaned out a spot and hauled them out to the barn. Make things more organized!!!!!!!

Gotta add the shelves and start filling the!!

I don't think there is any highway in Mizery 409 miles in length, it has to be from another state, maybe Iowa. Lol
