Someone painted the engine bay black. :slap:
Acetone may clean off the black paint, but it a b-i-t-see-h to do.
There's something about having a car with a wicked past. :cheers:

story on the car is guy gets back from Vietnam 68ish and lived in Washington D.C. ordered the car from they think Anacostia chrystler Plymouth and he possibly worked at dealership for a little while. After this he took a GOV job. Took the car racing from all over. Family lived in Arkansas he moved down here and welded a trailer hitch on the car  :brickwall: I was told the car got parked in 78 when he moved to Arkansas for good. He has a brochure from Texas NHRA world finals from October 20-22 1972! The car had tons of cool decals all over it. One is drag racing decal from 77 on back bumper. I wish firewall was not painted but honestly I didn't want to touch the car. I just wanted it as original as possible. A guy I know bought it and I knew all the history and he called me up and said he just couldn't afford to finish it so I took it off his hands. I finished interior, trunk and engine. I added an aluminum radiator but tried to leave the way I found it. I got offered a deal on a paint job but I want to leave it original and dirty! it came with tons of stuff and the tool bag.! Has patches on it too!
Here it is clean!

As Paul Harvey would say, thanks for "the rest of the story". :icon_smile_big:

That's really cool that you know so much of the car's history. If it was mine, I would do just as you are doing, and leave it like it is, practically a time capsule. That paint sure shines up nice! :coolgleamA:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Nice car!
If you're planning on driving it A LOT I'd leave the windshield alone for now. One less thing to worry about getting chipped!  :Twocents:

Ya I love it just the way it is. Trying to get it running better so I can drive it more.
