Hasn't happened yet but tomorrow I'll be buying her a new heart for $200. I'm pretty excited to be getting a new motor in her. Going to cost a chunk of change to do the swap correctly so I'm hoping someone will hire me soon.

Used it to push my Comanche to my friends 2 miles away. Also put a throttle body spacer and it seems like its running better.

Maybe it depends on the batch. The rust I used ran worse then the cheapest spray paint you can buy and did not have much texture to it. The Dupli did not run at all and had more bits of rubber or whatever gives it texture than the rust.

Who the heck knows. I do know it looks good on the rocker panels and grill.

Drove around doing errands with the GF and then when i went to back up into a spot i started to hear a jerking loose sound coming from my right front axle every time i stopped and gave it gas to go backwards and found out my right front wheel is about a cm ahead of the left so i'm kinda thinking it's the caster shoe or my lca bolt to the frame is loose
