Not gonna work they're RILED up about him. Might as well just leave it alone. People who know him/his stuff will go to him and get his stuff. But to keep the post topic related, how long did it take to paint the VC? You gonna get a headerz0r?

Valve cover didn't take too long, first day i spent about 1-2 hours stripping it because the stuff i had was so weak, i had to do it 3-4 times just to strip it down. Next day sanding it didn't take too long either just did it while i was baking my friends headlights. Painting it maybe took 20 mins. I just did a light layer every few commericals maybe 2 mins spraying and did 10 layers.

Not sure if im going to do much else this year, putting in the paint shop once i get it out of storage. But then trying to not spend much more this year, just bought my first place and moving in 2 months. Once i move in morgage/taxes/expenses are going to be draining most of my monthly income along with furnishing the place but atleast ill have a garage.
