I'm going for as original look, sound, feel as I can get. When I build the 427 for it, it will have a original ford solid lifter cam.

I do have a question that I've been thinking about. Maybe your buddies would comment on it. The last metalic car I painted I remember it was really important that you spray adjacent panels from the same angle so the flakes lay down properly. If you don't one panel will look light and the other dark from one angle and just the opposite from the other. So I'm thinking I need to paint it with the hood doors and trunk in more or less their final location to avoid this? Whereas if you were painting a solid color you could just hang the doors etc. and shoot. What do you think about that? Am I being paranoid or is it really a concern?

Later, Chuck
