You painted your whole bellhousing????

I can only imagine what a numbers-matching style rebuild of a Series would be like, and giggle. Single-coat paint on most body panels on top of chromate, with no paint other than overspray on the inside of the fenders. Multiple spot welds stacked on each other because if one is good, then five... Pieces bent to…

The matching numbers crowd.

Concours Nutters. Every one I’ve ever met has been Deadly Fucking Serious about EVERYTHING. Pedantic gearheads crossed with dog show people. 

They’re all good birds

Im distrustful of its effects on long term durability. They say its been mitigated against with stronger components or systems that precharge a chamber to kickstart the engine but I have lingering fears in the back of my mind that constantly turning on and off the oil flow to an engine, and cycling its starting…

They’re communications equipment. Driving around scanning the countryside and heavens for potential buyers for FCA

If Cleveland parlays this into another Finals trip, the Steph/KD pick and roll against Isaiah/Love is going to be a fucking war crime.

The big bath actually held pretty well! It’s still cleaner after that lot than the day before I drove down. That lot entryway is so gnarly — I’ve no idea how half the cars in the lot got there.

E60 M5 owners are the most Jalop, at least right now at this moment. *silly dance*

Here’s my baby back at home in Alameda. This was before the big bath before heading to Seca for Festorics with the BMW CCA.
