If it's between a sanded car with no paint with LS6 heads vs. a car with paint and LS1 heads I would take the painted car. Who the heck wants to drive around in a car that has no paint or primer, just raw metal as the body?

yea i would choose paint for sure. i have CNC'd 799 heads on my motor but my paint job is rough. but if it didnt have any paint at all i would for sure paint the car. and honestly i dont know why i even have the heads because i would rather have a nice car than an eye sore. which is opposite of what i actually do have.

I did paint first, Now thats done and im doing h/c/i I would rather have a moderately fast car that turns heads everyday than a fast car that looks like junk!
Having both worlds is WINNING but takes so much damn time and effort.
