Thats the fun of having a car like that, is getting to work on it and fixing it up. It's fun to see what you start with, and what you end up with.
Have Fun.

im not really sure. All we have to do is buy the Sugar Sand for the blaster and 1 pint of matching red. we already have some red for it. Then we just have to pull or cover what we dont want sandblasted. Then just sand blast it then apply primer, let it sit a day or so then go back and spray it red. _________________ i copy peoples signatures ...
I dont think a blue block is all that bad (ever seen fords??) .

it might not hurt to have a high temp paint or the engine.
A blue engine would be OK, but read would probably look better. If it was me I'd go for a black, or silver (although that might look dumb trying to make it look more like aluminum _________________
