Is there an actual paint code for sand glow? I've seen guys try to replicate it and fail miserably.

SO I got the engine back in and surprise, surprise, it has a slipped liner. I have an old 4.0 block sitting in the shop, so I am going to transfer everything into that. It might be time to start talking about installing a LS engine in her.

Nothing is ever easy.

Q&E in Fullerton CA will top hat your block for $1500.

I finally got the block back from the machine shop. It's all back together. Hopefully this round will go better. I also had a black Interior in th shop, so we sealed that. Re did the headliner while we where in there. I have also been working on the ship LR3.
