I never would’ve thought of that! The glue stuck just well enough to prevent paint “bleed,” but easy to remove. Looks like it worked great!

How do you say “pimp my ride” in Urdu?

I do have “personalized” ads selected on my YT profile solely to reduce the number of ad categories that I can’t stand, but that’s only partially effective. Chrysler/Dodge adverts are conspicuous by their absence; I get Nissan ones instead along with what you mentioned, not to mention health...

:wtf: Oh, why? :( :mob:

Either of the two setups above is what I’d go for, personally. The 1967 Newport hardtop from my childhood/early adult years (and I wish I could’ve kept; see my profile) had the factory-stock 383/4-bbl with single exhaust, but still was among the fastest cars in the neighborhood. (Granted, that...
