    Engine paint question?

    Exterior is going to be 383, the engine bay is going to be Zinc Chromate. Here are a few pics of the Autsin Healey green.

    Engine paint question?

    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...

    Truck Markings?

    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...

    Mil. Spec. Cannon plugs

    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, Eric

    Mil. Spec. Cannon plugs

    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. For example I'm looking at the AIB/GT...

    Military Mustang project, what color for the interior?

    Yeah now that I painted a few test pieces I think I'll go with the Zinc Chromate on the engine compartment, Interior Green in the cab, and of course 383 for the body. Thank you all for your thoughts and opinions, much appreciated! Eric

    Military Mustang project, what color for the interior?

    The white would be a nice contrast, but the green would look good also,, I think I'm more torn on the engine bay than on the interior color. I could throw true Zinc Chromate in the mix and have three options to think about. What do you guys think?

    Military Mustang project, what color for the interior?

    I thought about that too, in fact I tossed around painting the entire car tan. Ford had a tan color in the 80's and it would look too stock. 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...

    Military Mustang project, what color for the interior?

    Thanks for all the input, I'll go with the interior green.

    Military Mustang project, what color for the interior?

    Here are the colors together. The middle section is the Gillespie 383 which will be the exterior color. What do you think?

    Military Mustang project, what color for the interior?

    RE: Re: RE: Military Mustang project, what color for the int I think what I'll do is paint a extra door I have to see how the 383 and interior green look together.

    Military Mustang project, what color for the interior?

    RE: Re: RE: Military Mustang project, what color for the int Nice thought on the Gortex! Also good info on the white interior, that makes sense for a enclosed vehicle.
