Looking very cool !


"I'm sure there is other things I forgot about. Cost more to build this car than what I figured!"

Take any guesstimate and quadruple it and you'll be closer to actual cost...

Is it from all the chrome pieces? I have trouble getting anything that has been chromed to seal.

Sorry to hear that. Have you contacted Blueprint ? they seem to have a good reputation and may be willing to help.
Where is the leak(s) coming from ? where did you first notice them ?

As Oldss said, chrome timing covers and oil pans are notorious for leaking as nothing sticks to chrome.

The intake was, we removed and resealed, fixed. Valve covers remover, new gaskets, but I still think they leak. There is oil directly under rear main as well.

'

For sure rear leak isn't running down from Dizzy base, back of Intake or OPS?
Gaskets against chrome are often best glued to chrome parts using enough material for a good seal between w/ opposite side of gasket being the compressed seal allowing removal later.
Best of luck and don't get discouraged as your car really rocks!!!
