    Thanks for that. The main reason I went maroon on the flatty/trans/QC and frame is because there is a lot happening on my car and what it didn't need was more colors.

    Not that I can find, never heard of it if they do. Mainly lubricants and fuel system additives. They sell good stuff though.

    Good video, thanks for it and info. Think I may go with that option.

    My last Mini engine was white. Worked out okay. Only oil stains were where I spilled when hurrying an oil change.

    My sbc race engines were always painted Caterpillar yellow. Yellow motors scream!

    I notice we've been enjoying quite a few paint color threads lately. I think you can't consider body color without also taking into account engine and ch***is color.
    And wheels.
    Oh yeah... and interior.
    And top, even... for an open car.
    Hmmm... more to this than somebody might first expect.
    Oh, just paint it all black. :)

    I like to use the OE colors, but it really depends on the project if you can get away with that or not. Here are a few examples.

    That said, I vote for the Ford green. You can buy it from the various early Ford parts houses. I get mine from CW Moss in Orange, CA.
