Two or three years ago I built my 331 bottom end, with GT40 heads, with hopes of one day being able to afford aluminum heads for it. Last month, I scored a set of RHS heads. I had to pony up a few hundred dollars of it on my Visa at the time, but that will be payed off next week.
I still need gaskets, better intake, larger TB, and rockers. I figured that I can slowly buy all this by next spring and have upgrades done before next summer hits. I have, or had a plan.
Then, last night, my wonderful wife tells me that she would like to help me get my car painted for my 30th Bday that is coming up. She would only contribute a few hundred dollars, the rest she would allow me to borrow from savings and pay back monthly.
This would entail me doing all the prep work, which would realistically take a few months. But it definetly needs paint, it looks horible right now. Also, doing paint puts off my new HCI combo a year or two at least.
So lets hear some opinions. What would yall do? Is speed more important to you guys, or looks? This is not my DD, just a fun time cruiser street/strip car.
