Sam Adams Boston Lager is their best.
Lately Ive been sampling some stuff my dad got from a friend. The guy has a still, , and damn it is STRONG. Hasnt mellowed at all. One of the jars smells like gasoline... Il let that one age a bit more.

Ill be calling Napa tomorrow to order some leaf shackles. Mine are not coming off my old leafs.

Rustoleum satin finish. Color is "putty" but im guessing you just wanted brand. Goes on really well. Im going to finish sand the hood to get consistent sheen but the rest should look fine. The dents will distract you from the paint finish. Put me in for the slowest paintjob award. One piece at a time....

Put in a new Sony head unit with Bluetooth and some Kicker 5.25" speakers in the rear roof panel. I got some Kicker 6.5's for the doors, but that'll have to wait till the weekend.

Got my Durango springs broken down. Cut the eyes off the main springs, and radiused them.

Then mocked up my bastard pack

No primer. Just cleaned it with ammonia and painted. Its meant to be a rig that gets scratched and beat up so i chose a common but durable spraypaint that i can hit it with later to clean it up.

TBS as in throttle body spacer? Those dont do anything except move the throttle body a little further from the intake. Boring the throttle body itself if completely different than boring a spacer and putting the throttle body back on.

Throttle body spacers do nothing for our fuel injected engines.
