GTS - what paint did you use on the exhaust manifolds ? Holding up ?

? ............

I'd go POR if I thought the pint kit would do the whole engine.

Rustoleum doesn't make a Mopar blue engine paint - and I can't find the code to have any mixed (73 340), I suppose they could match up if I take in a valve cover (or "borrow" a can of Duplicolor).

Prime it , or no ?

I'm good with this - as I said , I degreased with oven cleaner (which removed some of the paint) then purple degreaser, etc. Just needed to know if the paint that wasn't removed will be fine or can I blast or strip or ?

This engine's been completely degreased - I'm concerned about remnants of the old paint but ain't sure best way to strip - I'll be removing the intake, exhaust mans, valve covers, maybe oil pan but it ain't leaking now so.......... anyway, any tips ? Good quality paint ? Best exhaust manifold...

That much I know .... but I'm on a tight budget ....

I got all my asst parts blasted and I need to paint. Not a trailer queen, what do you guys recommend for paint ? What about parts that are supposed to be "natural" steel - is there a good (durable) cast look paint or should I bother ? Clearcoats ? Thanks.

With the engine out - I need to start prepping the bay but need to clean up suspension/K frame, etc while here. It's thick build-up of grime - like 1/4 inch in areas. Someone said I needed a "truck pressure wash", I'm thinking about using one of those sandblast/pressure washer attachments. Oven...

Mine was an automatic , not the manual shift model .

Just needs curb feelers. Hey Okla .... I had the same bike ! Got it for Christmas in 68 or 9 I believe.

---- something in the water in Tennessee ? http://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/3021622232.html I mean really guys , is this on purpose or an attempt at humor ?

You know , I've always believed in the "to each his own" philosophy, but sometimes, it's reallllllly tough, these would be interesting people to meet : http://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/2987120541.html Ad animated puking gif here

I'll clean it up this weekend, take some good pics of the cancer, start a new thread for "group assessment". I've done rear quarters and trunk work, this is way beyond my skill level -

That's what I'm thinkin' found a couple candidates - decent bodies w/out drive trains - I just need more room !

I'll consider all options. I'll post pics later but like I said : floor pans, trunk pan, rear quarters, hood, lower doorskins, deck lid and all metal around trunk seal, pillars, and jambs around door hinges - all shot. Not original engine or trans, etc. You'd be upside down in this car in no...

It would be a major resto - not worth it for a 383 column shift car - I can add pics later this week - you'll see.

......and check out those mirrors, what the .........

But I never thought I'd bring one home ! Have to share the short story : last Wednesday my Mopar buddy Greg calls me from down south and says "my nephew is doing some remodeling on a home across town from you and called to say there's a car like yours, Uncle Greg, in the ladies back yard." So...

Not a problem for me - donor piece and a MIG.

He said the guy through in a 3:55 center chunk as well ! He needs a correct hood and front fender, didn't ask about interior condition, not that it matters now. I bought my 70 340 4-speed car last year for 4900.00, so I shouldn't complain, but I still would have grabbed this deal in a heartbeat...

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/wat/ctd/1586020264.html Just talked to the buyer - not a Mopar guy, but a nice guy and hope he does it right, one of my favorite colors. Just goes to show you they're still out there, but gotta look every day or else ............. dang again. All original - I...

Nope not today - 2 1/2 hour drive - wish I was, though. If you know anyone looking, pass the word it's for sale, just completed this summer , ready to start my next one and need a "head start" financially speaking ! Haven't really tried to sell but will make more of an effort soon. Thanks for...

That would be me ..... smile and say "green cheese" - she was lookin' really good when the sun got around to that passenger side. Almost had it sold and needed a ride home, the guy may call - I told him I'd throw in free delivery if he decides he wants it (Leesburg), we'll see. You know they...

How 'bout that - I met one member that recognized my car (can't recall his user name at the moment ) and the orange 70 car parked next to me is a close friend who posts here on occasion, we drove down together, then he left early and took the wife and kids to Disney in the Dart! I could almost...

I think we counted 7 of those 71 convertible Cudas with the billboard stripes - and I believe they were all Florida cars - that was wild to see that many together in one place.

Hey - I recognize that green Swinger ! Great show, great swap meet.

Just got back home and hour ago - this was my fourth year down and it keeps getting bigger. More A's than ever before this year for sure. Weather was beautiful as usual - sunny and mid 70's. Great show - walking distance to hotels and restaurants - come on down next year, you'll be back from...

It ain't risk free according to PastorTom - I'm no conspiracy theorist, but we all know things are headed in a strange direction, globally. Even the slightest rumor of the govt possibly taking control (seizing) pensions, 401K's, etc. would cause a massive sell-off/withdrawal, etc. This won't...
