Nice! So will the entire car get the black primer look?

It's actually going to be awhile until I can get the money rounded up to paint the front clip, but at that cost, I could easily just get the whole car painted at Maaco. We were both tired of the red hood and fender and another different fender on the car so I decided to paint the front clip flat black for now.

Still trying to resolve the engine knock and it's getting louder, so I suspect it's eventually gonna blow..........

I got less than 20 days to get this car ready for a road trip to Florida's "Geos on the Gulf" :scared

Mine's getting ready to be as well (along with the transmission), just as soon as I get one more bolt to fasten the load lever to the exhaust side of the head :thumb

First you guys go visit T3, then you head out to the Mullet man's place and drop a blueprinted motor in his car?

Busy day eh? :rocker

Members Geo Glenn, Scoobs, and Richards117 .....we salute you!
When Geo Glenn and Scoobs showed up today at t3ragtop's place, not too far from JM.....on a secret mission...and JM had a failing engine......I wondered if this might be the outcome.
Nice work, team!

Maybe Glen and scoobs can take the ol knocker with them and drop it off the Mississippi bridge on the way home.

We all run across a headache engine every now and then. Maybe you wont have another one for quite a while.
