Looking good! What kind of motor is going to be in the car, original?

It is a 440+060 over with Eddy heads, RPM intake, Comp Cam XE285HL, New forged crank w/4340 H-beams rods, KB hyper-pistons 10,2-1 comp.
All is machined and balanced.
Also 3,91. 8 3/4 rear with a gearvendor OD unit, TCI super streetfighter 727.
Nothing too fancy, but i think it will be ok

Got some paint on the hood, doors, fenders etc...
I have to rub down the hood and give it 2 coats off clear , due to some dust and pubichair
It can happend to the best, and now it did again........

wouldnt you want to paint car with all the panes on it at the same time...since its got metallic flake in it and way it lays on panels would be different if you were to spray all the parts separate

I thought the same thing, but I think he knows what he is doing. If I did it, there'd be 5 different hues of silver.

Norway, did you go with the manual or power steering on the RMS K-member?

Just saw that power was an option now, and I'd love to hear which you went with.

Thanks.

You have absolute right
I would not recomend this metod with silver, or other colors that contains a lot of silver.
Things that would change the metallic color is:
1) Air pressure
2) Thinner ( Slow/Normal/long )
3) How much thinner
4) Distance from car-spraygun.
5) How heavy coats/ many coats.

And maybe other factors as well...

I got lucky with color match , but if not i had to do the entire car..
