Pros
  • Power parts and accessories
Cons
  • There are nuances

What I want to know is how they can sell it for a little more than the cost of a standard vacuum cleaner. Get that,

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Negative impression

But after tearing up the top of this resto mod I did some more OT work and pulled the trigger to replace the Lucas block. Learned recovery and it took at…

Pros
  • Ignition & Electrical
Cons
  • Quality
