As for those lugnuts, BLING! I got something like these for <60cents each at the local autoparts store: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-7540027/
Is your hood latch messed up? Otherwise I don't understand the $30 on pins.
That's just my take on it.
yeah im getting the lugnuts for the bling, and im getting the pins since im takin the latch out of my 95 to put in the 98, plus it be good to have pins in case of a under hood fire, i was thinkin about the motor, im just gonna do gaskets and rear main no oil pump or frt main, i dont know how long this motor will last so no reason to put all kinds of time and money into it
