On another site devoted to A bodies only I learned that blocks made in the USA were red & the ones made in Canada were blue. Mine is a 340. I was thinking more on the lines of a model paint that doesn't require special prep to the surface.
Greetings.
I'd like to match the blue Mopar engine color from the '60's. I want to build a replica of my 1:1 '68 Barracuda that has this color on the block & heads. Any suggestions?
Actually this quote is attributed to Juan Manuel Fangio. It goes "whats a behind a me is no concern of mine". He then rips off the rear view mirror & tosses it.
I cut down a piece of 1x4 pine with a hole (1-1/8" I believe) drilled in the center to accomodate the circular base to the upper portion of the stand. I then mount the pine block in my articulated vice & I can position it any way I want to apply decals & fine details to the body. Works great.
I am currently building the 427 SOHC version of this kit. My only complaint is that the screws don't go in far enough because of the paint in the threaded holes. I don't have a tap that small to clean them up. Otherwise, a very nice kit.
