Off-topic, but how/why did you get a name change? Why is your SN pink? And how come you got such a large avatar?

I don't get it, other than I think it's a movie.





OP.......BAD *** looking man! Love that color and I love a clean painted engine bay. I always appreciate the work more when the owner does all the work, especially paint and body.

2 light coats and 3 coats of spi clear, no motor work yet. The car is still fun to drive around and i'm not sure what my long term goal with this motor will be yet. I'm leaning towards just doing a cam and rear gear swap for now and then possibly in a year or two i would like to build the motor from the bottom end up, probably stay n/a stroker motor but some boost would be fun too

Did you use the factory paint code? It looks so much darker than mine I love it though. Maybe it's all the black accent.
