Thu May 4 05:18:35 PDT 2006

Hi Dwight.It's your engine so make it the way you like it.I have done
both.Some of my engines are totally restored with nice paint jobs others are
restored but left in there as is state for appearance.People like them both
ways but the as are engines seem to get the most lookers and good comments
at shows.In many cases they have more character
