Nice to see your work of detail.

In my 2001 LS1 that I bought 10 years ago to put in my '69 Camaro I still have the original Denso spark plugs. They look fine and it runs fine, so I haven't had any reason to change them.

I think the problem they had with these initial platinum plugs was that the tiny little "puck" of platinum on the tip of the electrode ground would fall off through wear or with via someone checking the gap with a feeler gauge and dislodging it. If you look carefully you can see most are missing their pucks, hence the wide gap.

The WS6 is currently at the body shop getting the replacement roof panel prepped for installation. He was able to remove the old panel in one piece with heat and wire.

The underside of the new panel all prepped:



The steel support panel getting cleaned up:

The trunk lid edges also needed some paint attention and the paint flaking on the tips of the spoilers as well.
