You could always start up a kickstarter for the engine.

$120. I have bigger fish to fry at the moment.crosscreekcooter;n226062 said:How much does it cost for a new center console storage compartment lid?
I'm going to dive into the engine this weekend. I ran a compression test.....and the results weren't particularly encouraging. 6 of the 8 cylinders are fine, but two of them are extremely low - and right next to each other. That usually means a blown head gasket between those cylinders. Not always, but it doesn't look good. I may have to learn how to replace a head gasket myself the hard way.Durty South Swamp;n226080 said:Dang man! That thing looks AWESOME! Like a brand new car. Great job!!! Put the same amount of work into the engine and you're gonna have something to really be proud of.

She wants to restore a '69 Camaro - that's her dream. We go down to the Barrett-Jackson auction in Palm Beach every year to look at the cars.Concrete Helmet;n226060 said:5K for 500HP.....I'd tell the old lady to get off her ass and get a second job.....Can't she see how hard your working on this ride??? Seriously, if you have a hard on for cars like me try getting your woman involved by going to cars shows and such. Mine has become such a Mustang fan she is asking me about what mods we will be doing on our 2015 GT.:happy:

She loves cars. However like me, she also likes being able to pay the bills.
