Well, we got the engine bay painted on our 68, 383, 4-speed.  Did it last Friday and let it sit over the weekend before pulling the paper and tape off.  Now we need to get the front of the radiator support (black), k-frame and frame rails, steering column, etc. etc. done so we can get the engine back in.  SS1 paint turned out pretty good (stock color).

Well, it's been a few years.  Maybe I should try to make it this year, if they're going to have it.  Bob

Progress - painted the front of the radiator support, k-frame and frame rails.  Also, first coat of paint on the engine.  We are using POR-15 Chrysler Turquoise paint on the engine - looks to be a great match of the original.
