[Curt Hall]

Jeff...
 
We all have been down that road!...it's only $40 bucks, while I'm at it I probably should do this or fix that cause it's easy or now I can get to that! Next thing you know it's $500 bucks later!
 
Just look at all the fun your having! LOL

I think many of you can relate to my most recent Pantera
project.  It all started with a Steve
Wilkinson parts special. $ 40 for rubber motor mount bushings.  Mine were original so a good idea to replace
them.  But the motor mounts themselves
look crappy so I now need to paint them, all new bolts. No big deal.



But now I am looking at my 3O year old Mind Train headers.
Good time to have them ceramic coated. ($175). What about those original header
bolts? Yeah  ARP small head bolts. And
ARP has a complete set of nice oil pan bolts.   Of course I need new header and collector
gaskets. 




Now I am looking at my 20 lbs. OEM starter. It still works ……………….but
what about that occasional heat soak? And summer is coming hmmm.  OK how about that deal on that Chinese starter?
Nope, I need to put my big “Yankee” mouth behind my “No Chinese parts in my car
speech” Torque Master (USA) has a nice mini starter ($180). 





Miscellaneous paint /cleaners /solvents/ anti seize / new
plugs / oil change (Why not easy to get to with the headers out.  )



Total:  $500 +    I
keep the receipts but NEVER total them.  



$ 40 motor mount rubber done. Zero cost for cuts, sore back,
and knot on head. 


What a great deal! Thanks Steve!
