That look lasted for a while and really made a difference at the shows and cruise nights. I won a few awards, and got lots of thumbs up so everything was fine for a while.

Everything was good from a visual standpoint, so life was good. At least for a while. Then I started to notice the motor was puffing blue smoke on start up. Of course we all know that's just valve guides seeping oil and nothing to worry about. The truck started and ran just fine beyond the initial puff of smoke, so I didn't think nothing of it.

Then one day I started realizing how bad my gas mileage was getting. After reading a few posts on mileage I thought something must be wrong so I pulled the plugs. They were gas fouled really bad, and I noticed that the paint kept burning off the intake in the middle.
