I know they had this, um, chevelle? Maybe... I can't remember, old 70's
muscle car (I'm not good with those) and they took the old rat-nasty
motor out and put a (pardon the French) blingin' chrome 357 in there. It
looked sweet. Chrome pulleys, chrome valve covers, chrome air filter top
(of course), chrome frickin' everywhere. They were quite proud of it.
Almost more so than the 4 15" woofers in the trunk (rolls eyes). That's
the only mechanical work I've seen done on the show, though. Most of the
cars don't seem to be in bad mechanical shape that go into the show,
however... most of them have mostly cosmetic issues. AFAIK, anyway.

P.S. man, there is so much space in those old engine compartments... And
then I go and look in the SHO's... and look! Right by the air filter! I
can *almost* fit my wrist in there!

Does PMR do anything at all with the engine, tranny, brakes, etc?  Those

were not mentioned or shown.  I hope they do but if not, that's just
scary.
