well my friend i dont know if it did made a big gain since i did everything at once but im sure it helps throttle response. to block the holes jb weld or all metal is the way to go.
and a lil bit of sanding to smoothn it after its harden.
 
about time you made a thread.. car looks good in the pics, cant wait to see it this summer and get some photos.. let me know what you think of the retros as i don't even have mine finished yet..
 
Nice...looking great so far...don't forget to paint that lip though...

Can i just spraybomb it? I i need some special primer for urethane or what? I have her for the past 2-3 years and i just put tire shine on it and it looks painted lol
