About 100 miles away in SC, south of Greenville. Yes, going back to Ice Green Metallic.

Definitely going to replace or re-skin the dash pad while it is out.

I need one of these in my life. Unfortunately, I don't think my teenage daughters would want to help me install the engine but I will ask though.

Don't paint the undercoat black. It looks all wrong on a middie. It should be the white color. Looking forward to updates!

This engine will not be going back in. I have something else lined up that I will elaborate on very soon. Leaning toward body color on the undercoating, but still deciding.

Anyone have any experience with the exterior seal kit (SMC.000.897) from Sierra Madre Collection? The forum sponsor apparently doesn't allow URL links to their site.
