I'm looking for ideas for engine paint on my military Mustang project, its a big block 460. I drove HMMWVs' in the Army and if I recall correctly the engine wasn't painted at all.
What vehicles had engines that were painted and what colors did the military use? I think I've seen some Cummings...
I spoke to a Florida DOT officer the other day and posed this question to him. He said he couldn't think of any Florida or federal law that would prohibit you from using bumper numbers etc. The only issues would be making sure your tags (license plates) were correct.
He mentioned maybe having...
Ok I think I have the plug type/arrangement figured out. I might go with the solder type as I cant justify spending over $100.00 on the crimping tool (without the hub in most cases).
Thanks,

How expensive are these plugs? I know that's an open question with all the options out there, but I'm considering using a few of these plugs in the engine bay of my Mustang project. I did order the PEI catalogs and have been trying to figure it all out.

I think I'm going to go with the Interior Green.
Now the next option, what to do with the engine bay. White, black, 383 green, Interior Green...

I think what I'll do is paint a extra door I have to see how the 383 and interior green look together.

Nice thought on the Gortex!
Also good info on the white interior, that makes sense for a enclosed vehicle.
