          I may be a contender. I just sponge brushed some white on part of mine.

          Car is Pro Jackstand, apparently FMS thinks 302 oil pan pickups should be in 351 kits. Major F*ing Have one coming this way should be here Monday at 10:15.

          Doing some other things that need to be done.

                I'll get in on this cheap paint jobs. It's awesome how much silver makes the flaws disappear in pictures, because it's really rough in person

                  It's funny/ sad how so many people can't ever get past the paint to see all the work that went on under the sheet metal. I've always had that problem. The yellow on my car is still the 8 year old Maaco job with chips and dents.

                  Randal your car is way cool and I want to learn from you to convert both my wife's Mustang w/ 351C and mine over to EFI at some point. I love builds like yours!

                    I'm always willing to answer questions and share my experiences. I keep too busy with my own projects though to travel around regularly to get real hands on. But if I'm in the neighborhood?

                    (The benefit for everyone else that DG doesn't have a project car at home, he has free'r time!).

                      cheap paint.. Yup, me too. My '53 had the body work and paint done by a high school class.. in ~1997 I think.. been a real long time. It looks good at abou 50-75 feet!! If I remember right it was less than $600 total!!

                      NO WHERE NEAR what it costs nowadays!!

                          Yep, got my paint at P&K right down from the track. I think they support Tulsa Raceway too. I remember when Blitz black first came out and the parts manager thought it would go bad on the shelf.....now it out sells green.
