I think we test fit to see if everything cleared and took the passenger manifold off. It may be able to be done with it, but took the extra clearance for just in case. it was easy to reinstall the manifold after the fact.

Can't wait to see your A12 done. I hope to have my A12 done mid-late 09.

Was the MP Restoration Orange what you used on the motor? I'm leaning towards the "Tangerine" paint formula. I hav't really gotten a strait answer on what the most accurate and durable formula is.
