Not really necessary to wet sand primer...we blocked my car with 320 and the paint looks amazing.

almost messed up. A ls1 camaro was at the shop that I got to bsing about blowing the doors off of. The mechanic said he couldn't race me because it suck the tint off the car when he blew past me. Turned out it had an all aluminum ls6 under the hood.

For those that care, I've finally fixed the mustang. Turned out to be a bad distributor ($50.00, fkin weak). That was two weeks ago, today my wife and I went out in town to embarrass imports and weaker engine cars. I was loving the sound of the engine, I left it in second gear most of the time to listen to the engine decelerate from 65mph. There is nothing that replicates the sound of a 302 properly modified. My wife and I will get some better vid clips up on here soon.

Sent the stock short block to the machine shop for rebuilding. Cleaned up the E7's and smoothed out the ports. I also washed and scrubbed the entire engine bay. Soon I'll have it running again
