That stuff is 90 a gallon, but you only need less than a quart and thats only 20. I painted my weather stripping too, as well as the gas door (wifes idea, but i like it) PProbably set you back 26 with the tape and the roller. Brings those flares back to life too. Im gonna wind up doing the whole truck eventually though
what did you use to paint your weather stripping? that krylon fusion stuff?

Yeah i used the herculiner as well. They were starting to rot away and had like a weird mold growing on them. So I decided to throw the herculiner on them and make it look a lot better. Im pretty pleases with it all and it was cheap and fun to do

You could do a 99+ intake manifold swap, along with a bored TB... which can all be had from a JY fairly cheap and the boring can be done by you... Am going to be hitting up the JY on Tues. to pick mine up to clean up and bore out for my 98... Not going to complain about 10+ extra HP... not to mention going to look for a set of Neon injectors while I am there...
