i have a big tent that im gonna set up over it soon, but i need to spray the dash of the silverado first. im a couple of weeks off the dash though, so till then ill just deal with it.

this was taken in the tent:

it has walls and i have an extractor fan too. so when its time to paint, rather than having to move a disabled car, i just build the tent over it.

Bah, there's no such thing as too much torque. You're dreaming. I have a good mind to drop a 454 into my HQ and put the power down through the stock 185s... ^_^

Nice following the Cold Chisel song HQ 454 monroe.

Well goodbye baby, you know I’ll
Be thinkin’ of you only while
I get my Chevy motor fully blown

When you said I had to choose between
This muscle car and you, my queen
There was only one way that could ever go

I used to get home when I could
But there was nothing there as good
As when I light the nitro on my
HQ454 Monroe
