No replies??? Scrolling through some posts and saw this. Very nice wagon! Very sharp and great job on the dual carb set-up.

Thanks..
Heres an update i changed the paint scheme, removed the hood stripes and painted the roof flat black.
I also redisigned the intake manifold to make the runners more streamlined and extended the runners into the ports in the head.
Here are some.pix..

Impressive that you have the skills to fab an intake manifold. How much did the twin carbs improve performance? Are they a nuisance to keep running good?
Nice clean engine compartment! Nice work.
