      I'll exchange precious knowledge for the remaining 300 likes. The world is flat, and disk shaped. Australia is incapable of existing. Russia is a hoax, and does not exist. Nuclear weapons are a troglodyte conspiracy to control us, they are totally metaphorical. There is NO Atlantic ocean, the united states sits on the shores of the Caspian sea. THIS IS ALL FACT. DO A BURN OUT.

      You should see the cars I restored,one 69 was rusted.smashed used as a parts car and now its a show car,stock appearing with a stroked out 78 440 to 512 c.i ! I own a 68 Charger RT that was never a wreck,I put over 300,000 miles on it now it runs a 76 440 stroked to 535 ! Stock appearing oem style is waht I go for and engines well even non strokers I upgrade the cam and heads and even a stock 440 from 71 older will make 550 hp easily with a cam and a good head job with a intake /carb and headers ! My 68 runs low 10's in the 1/4 with 3.23's and drag radials that dont hook up ! The 69 runs low to mid 11's and all my engines run on pump gas 91 - 93 octane !
      I slowed down on restorations these days and focus on easy stuff like selling modern turds at my dealer lol..But still rsotre 1 -2 cars per year..I can do a twisted,rusted,dented car in 1 year and not full time either ! Not hard especially today with al the aftermarket parts,true they need tweaking but quicker than hunting down rust free straight parts !

I had clear fuel line (from my fish tank) so I could see the gas flow through when I 'punched-it' ... then the radiator fell into the fan and sprayed hot coolant all over us. The ride was short, but so much fun !!!! .... 'eh, I was on a paper route budget...
