Very nice color combo, first thought it was primer, then made it bigger and got a better look.

No...Drove it with the SV1 the other day, and that is probably one jet size too fat, but very close now. It also needs the transition slightly leaned as well. But I have another problem. Probably won't be driving it again for a long while. Got the other blocks yet?

Are the e-body's aerodynamic at that mph and above? Anything needed as the mph goes up? Not saying I'll be in that territory, but who knows.
I'm no expert on this but if a had to say ,the 70-71 had a slight advantage in the grill area work verses the 73 which had the big open grill area.
