    Do Others Suffer From This Sickness?

    J-code rebuild

    I would upgrade the lower end with a roller cam, too many advances to go back 100% stock. Only you would know!

    I saw one Sunday evening at a gas station here in Maryland. I had the wife and kids with me so I did not turn around. Plus I saw the prototype and 3 others at SAAC-31. Cool cars.

    Fender Webbing

    Are you talking about the bead of caulking b/t the front fender and inner fender? If so, I used 3M strip caulk. I placed it in a manner that it would not protrude from under the fender.
