Hi Guys
I was last on the site a couple of months ago asking advice regarding my broken 352 engine either to rebuild or refit a 430.
In the end the conclusion was to rebuild the 352. I have got a top notch guy over hear who specialises in old American car engines and he only lives 10 min drive from where i live in Newcastle, UK. He has it all stripped down cleaned ready for new paint. His finished projects are imaculate like brand new.
It required a new cam all new bearings ect. The crank was salvagable along with the pistons. Im no expert with engine terminoligy but Dick has it all under control.
I am going to give her a full new coat of paint and i fancy two tone. The car is a hardtop and was all origianlly blue with blue interior. when i bought the car it was cream in colour and not the best finish. I fancy an off white hint of cream main colour with a small amount of very light powder blue as a second colour, not sure what areas to paint what colour.
Does anyone have any recomendations or pictures with regards to a two colur paint job. The interior will remain blue and i have painted the engine bay black. Its all coming together slowly, still a lot of work to do and should be back on the road early next summer.
Cheers
