Wow!! Dude, thats sooooo nice  :drool5: Awesome job. I helped strip a 72 formula with a 400, 4 speed, and a 12 bolt years ago. It was very rusty. The same color with a black gut. Johnny :METAL:

I think that is supposed to be the factory primer?

I had a 76 GP LJ with a 455...hardly a HO TA but it was a fun car for a 18 YO.

The T/A's built at the Norwood plant had there body dipped in a red oxide and then they were painted, so no paint on the bottom like Mopars. It should have some Lucerne blue overspray and the black paint from the firewall should be overspray as well. No question the body colored bottom & engine compartments on the Mopars looks better!
Thanks!

Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?
