heres a 71 440 sprint i just put together. it has a 440 hirth thats been modified and obviously a high performance exhaust. i didnt want to paint it red but i didnt want it black either so i painted it black with some red metalflake it looks pretty cool in the sun . i built it to take on rides a screw around with so its not perfect but it turned out pretty nice

Dacota, great looking mod. Sounds mean. Not surprised with the old man, tell him to stick with drag racing old ladies. He needs the practice.

Haha he's got a lot of practice before he beats any ladies. For the skis I just used spray paint I believe it was duplicolor chrome bumper paint
