I vote Jensen Interceptor! You will never run out of things to fix and they are a cool ride.

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
It's a cast iron grey ceramic I had my powder coater (Witt's) do. No change from when I installed them and I expect them to remain that way for a LONG time

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
Wow, what a deal. I had mine blasted and I painted them with Eastwood's stainless paint and they are already rusted at 600 miles.

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
You'll do a great job Chris! I always thought that the prior-enlisted officers were the best to work for. Your Airmen will be lucky to have you!!
