Scammers
I agree! I would come up with a method to prevent new registrants from posting pending approval. @Mike might need to solicit help from a forum member that has the time and skills to help filter out this mess. I just waded through 6+ pages of crap to find the 3 or 4 new posts... 😞

L20b Cody's Goon
So i went to my local paint shop and had some single stage made up to match an alternator bracket that still had some factory blue on it. Cody got the block all taped up last weekend but ti was too cold. S o I sprayed it this weekend. It's much darker than it looks in the sunlight. Much more like the paint in the can looks. He is planning on working on the rotating assembly next weekend
