How about gloss black like Falfa's ride in American Graffiti?

(But that big-a**ed blower sticking through the hood.)

2LB was a 55 and Race's is a 56 but otherwise.........


Here is a 55 that was driven on the HotRod Power Tour this year. I like the name.

I've never been a fan of the "flat black" look. The Hot Rod Power Tour would be a blast to participle in.

It definitely will be gloss black. I've never gone for the patina look. If you have to temporarily drive in primer or flat, then so be it, but I like gloss and chrome. Yeah, I did/do like the "Black Top" '55 and Hot Rod's "BlaspHemi", but,if mine, I'd like to see paint on em one day.

When choosing wheels for the Camaro, everybody, I mean, EVERYBODY, tried to talk us into black wheels. Now, you know all we see....Camaros with black wheels. Didn't want that. Sure, chrome wheel are a little old fashioned but not for me.

Chasing a lean bank 1 code right now. First plan was clean the MAF but damn tamper proof torx got in the way. Lol

Can you believe I just ordered over $700 in tools and tamper proof torx wasn't in that order. Oh well always willing to buy more tools.
By the way, you may have a cracked or leaking exhaust manifold causing the lean fault.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.

Yeah. I'm hoping its just the MAF or O2 sensor. Although it sounds like I have an exhaust leak. If my damn cousin would get his two post lift in i would check it out. Lol

On the other hand the vehicle was my high school graduation gift. Maybe I should give up on it.
