I bet you were just excited about spraying colour, even if it was the wrong colour. Good to see work progressing :)

Yeah - till I found out yesterday that this particular orange cloggs up sandpaper more than any paint I've ever encountered! Won't be spraying a thick coat of that again.

In another turn of events:

I'm getting closer to pulling the motor, I've been thinking of taking Dirty Rats advice and turning this thing into a rat rather than a mouse. I called an engineer this morning and the largest donk he'll ticket me for is a 502ci. Must be fate as I was actually thinking of a 502 before I called him.

At the moment it's a L46 with a M21 muncie 4 speed.

Im thinking of:

502 with a 4 speed semi auto (ie a auto that is full manual shift)

With the 502 I'd have to change the hood so I'd prob be looking at a L88 long hood and do away with the wiper door and grill.

I've never though about semi auto's before but the HQ ute I recently bought has a 350 chev with a full manual powerglide and it's damn fun to drive but a couple more gears would be great!

I still have several months till decision time but thats where I'm sitting at the moment..
