Sorry I missed this post entirely. It turns out the seller of this car is the same guy who did up the Chief that 427Carl owned. Glenn is in the neighbourhood. We'll have to find out what happened with the car and report
So he owned Carl's Strato Chief before Carl bought it? He's the one who swapped in the big block?
Yes. I talked to him a fair bit before doing my swap, he was the one who first alerted me to the need for the external balanced flex plate and gave me encouragement to do it myself. The Chief's engine was a 454 bored to 468 CI. I believe that's 60 over.
Can someone start a new post just about paint. Not here.
My apologies. I started it. I figured the thread was pretty much dead so it wouldn't hurt to keep the conversation going about paint.
Thanks to all who answered my questions. No need to start a new thread.
Please continue the conversation about this car.
No need. Im enjoying reading about paint. Thought others might as well. But only if they knew this was about paint as its buried in another topic. Why dont you start another post and cut and paste these answers.

OK, I get what you're saying. Don't have time to start another thread at the moment, but feel free to do one yourself. Otherwise I'll try to start one up some time later. I'm not up on the latest paint situation, but it seems like costs have gone out of control. I'm always up for looking at options... maybe even doing it myself some day.
My opinion as a red seal body guy since 1978.......Ticking time bomb....All the signs are there in the pics.Not tryin to be negative but this car will bite you!
