    Love the look of 8 stacks,but I could not aford that when I was building hotrods in the late 50's into the early 60's,did findly get 2x4 set up for my 292Y-block.
    One thing that always seems odd to me is statemints like ["50's/60's quasi-old school look of flat or saten paint"],that was not a look at at all then,the plan was alway shiny,but a few never made it to shiny,yet no one I knew ever thought of there not yet shiny primer as a finish or even good looking or cool.but was going to be when the shiny got put on!.
    The point is flat is not how it was to be,thats just some 70 or 80 guy or younger not knowing what he was looking at. I guess it's like some one saying who was the first pinstriper,roman chairits had pinstriping and ya can go older then that too.
