I need a 216 intake manifold to start slicking up to chrome plate. I have one on the 235 now but it takes so long to get things plated plus I want to get it SMOOTH on the outside before plating.

OP wawuzit ChatMaster - 4,000 Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 4,446 Tennessee	When I got the car from Texas (EBAY), it had 14 blue ribbons and several plaques and three stick on awards . All were from the 60s-70s car shows. I guess it looked pretty good back then. The lower stick on award says first place winner Odessa texas car show. I think the older gentleman that owned it drove it everyday untill his son made him sell it. I talked to the owner on the phone after I found out who he was from some old paperwork under the seat. He's in his late 80s. He was a really great guy. He's still mad about his son making him sell the old coupe.
