    Still not sure how to "start a thread" here.

    Install them as they come and you will have less to do later.

    Varies on both products about evenly - Ebay seems to be the cheapest if it is in fact "new stock" like it is listed - I believe 29.00 was the cheapest for a pint of Rust Bullet shipped :)

    You could get a foxbody turbo kit for $1500 and modify it to fit. :chirp:

    I get POR 15 from Summit on ebay. It arrives within 48 hrs. Their stock is always fresh but I watch the weather conditions before I order to make sure it doesn't sit in a truck somewhere and freeze.
