Bill (SmallBlock) is for sure 1 of the many names on my list of members here that warrant nothing less than 100% trust. Ive talked to shadango a number of times while he has been looking at various cars to possibly buy and hes come across as a SUPER nice guy so when I first read his post here I was really thinking (and hoping) it was more of a "general" question because of all hes been through weeding out a nice car to buy. The placement of the question wasnt the best because it for sure could come across as an accusation, but again I hope that wasnt the case. Small Block is always the first to chime in to donate parts, a space heater, or money to someone in need, so the last thing he would do is replace the rubber on a peddle to make a sale.
