Time will only tell.
I am definitley going to drive this thing, maybe even a gratuitous burnout becasue I can. It will eventually see the dyno and remain a daily driver.
My philosophy is to do it right and make it look good too. My taste may not suit everyone, but it is, in my opinion, done tastfully. Once the enitre package gets completed I will be proud to open my hood, show you my engine and stomp all over your diesel
Countless times I watch these hotrod shows on TV and they almost never clean or coat areas that need attention. The old saying chrome wont get you home applies here too, but no reason you can't make things look nice. This was never intended as a budget build or see what I can make for $22.00 bucks and look like you spent way less.
