Unhappy Unhappy weekend

Well after putting it a day and 2 night shifts in the garage, fabricating installing and building my NOS system, trying to get it complete for the last drags at our track for the season. While doing a function test I discovered my new presure reg on my nitrous side does not work, wrapped my new auto meter gauge now it won't zero out. Took it apart cleaned it and nothing worked still creeps up on me. Needless to say couldn't get a new reg at 9pm and no races for me today. So I did what any respectable board member would do, I snapped some pics for everyone

Nice truck!! I'm building a lwb as well. Had a 440ci small block but switching to a 509 BBC. What are you using for rear suspension parts? Looks like you hook up pretty good.

Hey rat rod, that 440 that you had, was it a stock block or aftermarket? I just picked up a bare 400 that I want to punch out to 427/434, but alot of people are telling me not to use more than a 3.87 on the crank? How did you build yours?

When I get my motor built I am going to paint it yellow just like your 396 in that GMC and it will match the color of my truck.
