nice build....you used to see them every where in the 70's. My bubby's dad owned a metal fab shop and had one that was gold and a 454 as his company use car
I also have had issues with MM engine paint, their Pontiac blue paint is just bad. no matter what I do to it. Never had this concern with my old paint jars. I think they may have change something in the mix.. I stopped using the bottles and now use regular engine spray paint as stated above
nice progress on both Mopars... good luck with your move back home. I know what a hassle it is as I moved six times already for my company. One thing good about your move now is the weather in May, our moves were always in the winter time. The last move is here in Sioux Falls
