    The intake looks much better without the stems sticking out of all the rivets!

    It lives indoors... Always will, and if its not in the garage, I'm not far from it.

    It will be running by April.

    Good for you! I don't have time to make my own, so I buy my smoke, when working on the electrical system.

    Nope.

    The best way to do it is to have someone else do it.

    Exactly!

    There is a big difference between a sucky paint job and a paint job that someone has gone to a lot of trouble to make it look sucky.

    It's only "correct" if your left leg/hip is still healthy enough to push in the clutch pedal without pain . Otherwise, it is NO SIN to have an automatic...just as long as it is an R53! :ihih:

    It's still a sin, but if it's an R53 your seat is upgraded from hell to purgatory.

    Go right ahead. I value life too much for that, though.

    The paddle shifters and the floor shifter do a good imitation of a clutch pedalless automatic transmission. That said, though, I would NEVER be satisfied with driving either of my Ses in just "D" or "SD". Besides, I just love the whine of the supercharger and the burbling of the Milltek as I "downshift".

    Dang, soon y'all might talk Dick into doing a manual-to-automatic conversion on the Rat. I know where he can get all the parts he'll need.

    Don't do that. Then it'll be another four years of his car on jack stands. We've all lost four precious years of our lives to the ensuing drama; I'm not willing to give up any more.

    I've never even thought about selling my pic's, I just do it because I enjoy it!

    Its like when Colin asked me at Fontana "You just let people go up and touch your car, and your ok with it?" Heck yes I am! I decided to do this paint job because it would put my painting abilities to the test, and I wanted to share it with everybody... If that means people have to see it with their hands in order to get a full appreciation of the work that went into it, then so be it!
