Guys,
I was able to locate the correct engine for my GTX thanks to a tip from detmatt1. Thanks Matt! Now I am getting the car ready for the transplant by stripping then blasting the engine compartment. Eventually, the whole car will be done. I am also rebuilding the worn out front end while everything is easily reached.
My paint code is the '67 QQ1 Dark Red Metallic. I know very little about paint. What is the best source to pick up a quart to do the engine bay? Is a certain brand better than others? Is it a base coat and a clear? Underneath the undercoating there are some really nice samples of the original color and I want the "new" paint to be real close to that. Do I need to buy a couple brands and do some spray outs to confirm? Again, eventually I will need to buy more to spray the whole car and I would like to do the experimenting on the engine compartment. Thanks!
