    Thanks Vanny. That may be a good option. I will probably at least go down and check it out in person...not sure how flexible and/or how it will survive cutting into desired sizes. Can you advise? I think I like the ebony...


    Scott, I missed this earlier question but I just worked with flooring. Loved it but it was hard stuff to cut with the chop saw. I'm sure the panelling is probably not as thick. If you're going there to check out the panelling, they can probably tell you more about the product and how easy or tough it might be to work with. Good luck and don't forget...Don is still keeping tabs on you!!!LOL

    Well, after struggling with near death fever/cold sweats for the last couple of days Evil or Very Mad , I was able to muster up just enough energy to paint my "New" head

    burger - The Surfing Guy's 65 - Page 14 2013-037

    And remove ScottyJones' old head...check out that grease pit below on this abused block. I won't be missing that!

    Still sick as a dog and it has really cut into my van time, but did manage to put a second coat of paint on the doghouse and painted one side of the short block (sorry Don, I got a little overspray on your cart)....

    Depends on your gaskets - mine (230 engine) had the little tabs that fit down in the cover thus fit the lipped cover.
