Looks real good. Not sure why, but the filled in spoiler seems to work with your cabby. After looking at this, I went out, looked at crabby cabby and invisioned the same thing. Crabby can't pull it off the same way so you don't have to worry about any Ga copy cats

No snow here, but tonight it's going to be in the mid 30's and the high's for the rest of the week are in the low 50's. So much for riding the bike to work, but thats due to the wind we are getting and not the temps. Cristine bought me a super-duty cold weather riding jacket for X-mas and man does it work.
However, I should get back to work on my rocco for a change this weekend.

i guarantee you'll leave me in a cloud of dust, i decided to put off the turbo install till fall.
i'm going to work on the body and try to get her running tip top, i think that 3 way hose was just a warning of things to come if i don't start replacing stuff.

It could be. However, since you will turbo eventually, make it interesting and do yourself a favor at the same time.
Pickup an autotech cam for your bunny, same one that I put in crabby, a 260 and replace the lifters while you are at it for good measure. It will give you some nice added power acrossed the entire rpm range. Then when you turbo, it should squeeze a handfull of extra ponies that you wouldn't have had.
MJM Autohause may still have the cams for cheap (around $100 shipped) and I think they also carry the lifters. It's an easy upgrade, takes about an hour and as I said, well worth it even NA. It should work perfectly with a turbo.

i have the autotech 270 in the cab now. when i do the turbo install i'm going to leave it in and see what it feels like, i've talked to a few guys that run a 270 with boost and they love it.
eventually tho i'll get a cam thats made for boost.
unless a come across a good deal on a TT 276 or 288
i'm a sucker for big cams!!

ahhh, you should be fine with the TT cam. If you go bigger, you will have to run larger ammounts of boost to make the cam usefull. Not to mention that with the bigger cams, all your power will be in the top end, high rpm.
If you keep a midrang cam in, you will have good down low power and over all acrossed the board power. All depends on how you like to play.
