haha thanks! i want to black out the car as i don't care too much about show, but since the engine painting was a part of the rebuild, figured i'd make it stand out more. after all, that's the real beauty of this car haha

If its not slipping chances are you have the belt tension really high. You will wear out your alternator and front stationary gear bearings..

tweakitracing, and pineapple racing sell them..
