    Looks great! What kind of coating is that on the carb?

    I wondered the same thing myself.

    From the small pic.. it looks to be teflon coated to me.

    The engine looks fairly serious and I'd like to know more about the build spec's.

    Particularly if that carb will still accept a filter with that funnel web intake poking up so high. Even with a cowl hood.. I'd guess not. Never hurts to dream that I could possibly use mine on the street though.

    Damn nice color and stance. (y)

    Looks like the black that you can order new carbs with now.

    You know Gene, I though the tail panel of this Maverick looked a little "weird" :biglaugh:

    I was going to do a shelby tail light conversion but ending up leaving it stock. But even Comet tail lights look better than that thing
