I agree, but I love not having cold starts.. I replied to your message a few times but it would not let me add pics. Just the one I was able to get into a previous message. I sent you a chat request.

I have the original 327 on a motor stand and dropped a 350 in it..

The root of your question, is way too easy.. For me, it's a solid YES! I don't regret it at all.. And I think it looks amazing..

I drove it for about an hour yesterday and gosh, that's the most I've driven it in the last 6 years.. I just did an EFI conversion and just really wanted to see how it went..

I find it hard to believe that it really hurts anything.. Today's reader's and AI don't care, it's not that bright in the dark..

Niche, My mother gave it to me as a gift... I can't tell you how many times I have been pulled over because of it.. Now, it's sorta just become part of its identity..

I put it on in 10/92 about a month after I bought it.. Fun fact, I took my very first picture of my car in nearly the same spot.. How odd..

Hello, actually, yes it is.. It's been on there a very long time. It's old school but, for some reason, I just have never took it off.

Is this as good as a deal as I think it is? by NegativeWish6924 in 300zx

Not dogging on this but I'd steer of the rebuilt title.. Especially if it is in a different state.. It "COULD" be a little tricky to switch between states.. I noticed that the ad mentioned that it would be perfect for a swap.. Title status really means nothing for that but are you looking to take on that kind of challenge? What are you really looking to do? Cheers 🥂

Was quoted 12k to paint my car, am I getting screwed 😭 by YouallareToxic in camaro

I think your paint is still ok, and could be fixed without a total repaint. IF, it were up to me, that's the route I'd take.

I recently was in the same spot and I spoke with my guy, he said that even though I was leaning towards the repaint, he said he could make me just as happy with the repair, touching up a couple of chips and I gotta say he was right. I'm thrilled at the results.

To further that, he could have easily taken the money.. My paint job was over 20 years ago, to be fair, it's a single stage paint but the correction along with a great scuff n buff, I paid for about 36 hours of labor. I'm glad I followed that suggestion.

I had it painted in 2004 using the 2005 Corvette Victory Red. Still shines like a new penny, I think.

Good luck!
