I think this scheme looks about as good as yer gonna get. . . Now, do something about those fuggly exhaust manifolds. . .

I like the fuggly mani's!! They fit with rest of the car lol!! One day there will be some tti's under there!!

I happen to like those manifolds...

The manifolds came from a great guy in the Cbody world! They are now sentimental ! Lol Thanks again Matt!! Here's what I wound up with on both sides. When I find the right green and orange I'll prolly do the "flag" thing proper. An Irish flag can't be confused with a Mexican flag as my ginger *** steps outta the car;)

See, now this looks orange. That first picture looked red to me, hence the Mexico reference.

There were a few Mexican flag references!lol I did get it a little bit closer after a few more mixes but the paint became paste like and I could get it applied evenly. I'll try later with different paint. For now it's white

Not so funny thing is I paid 140 for the painted ones and 6 months later my buddy gives me these!View attachment 75204

These were crusty when I got them. My son worked them over and then sprayed them with Hi-Temp clear to keep them looking good.

Are you coming down to the show & swap on April 24th? It's at the Packard Proving Grounds.

 

[furyus 67]

Ooooh! I'm gonna have to put that on the list. I've still got a few loose ends to tie up. If the fury gods are willing I'll be there in the ole boat!! Funny I was just telling the wife how much I'd love to walk the old Packard plant!!

Thankfully it's at the proving grounds, not the plant.
