Me, I'm going to replace my new correct oil pan bolts, because the bolts for the timing chain cover are too short with a on-piece gasket, same with the rears. Another lesson learned
. I suppose I could install a cork gasket, but nah, I'll use ARP bolts. A little irritating, I like correct bolts
But a matching set will have to work. At least they're black and a better bolt, the others are clear.
Other than that I hope to have my chassis done by spring. Then I face the reality paint prison may be too long, which means plan B. Plan B has a reputation, and he charges for it too. It's another 7K to get him motivated, and I haven't even asked. Thing is he'll get it done. He's even my nephew.........
He did these for me recently, $200, which was a deal. But I know better. 16K minimum. The bed is already done less paint, and the rest is a nice start. I'll get a dry run and the moldings installed for it. Then I'm looking at 2020 to finish. Takes me so long
