Yes! A rear mounted 20psi turbo setup. Built mostly with stock parts. 2.75 gears, Running 12 seconds in the 1/4!!! That truck gives hope to every young man on a low budget.

Ok. Need help fixing an accident the previous owner did. Road stripe yellow paint all over the drivers side. Front to back.
You can scrape it carefully witha fingernail. I have had some luck with a plastic putty knife too. But its eating up the plastic putty knife quickly. Any suggestions?

Nice! White? That's a good idea as it'll show every little leak, and quickly.

Road stripe paint is epoxy, usually with glass microspheres for reflection.
I guess epoxy is a good choice as it bonds like crazy and can be laid down thick while the exothermic reaction will only cause it to cure faster, unlike almost any other paint. You might try DMSO. I've had good experience getting it to soften epoxy bonds before. After it has a chance to diffuse in, the epoxy is able to be easily scraped off/out of the joint. If you're in KY look in horse stores as it's used as liniment(sp?) and available as a gel, which would stick better to the rocker panel. It does smell a bit like garlic but that goes away. They must not use any kind of road salt or mag chloride brine on the roads down there. That's instant death with header wrap. Heck, even soaked in water causes headers to rot quick up north. Looking good Ray! Thanks for giving Little Blue a new lease on life.
