Damn can you get mystichrome for free??


Btw...how much paint is normally used for a total color change? A galllon?
Oh yeah, btw, mystichrome? Not just no, but......

They were going to give me a quart back when I was figuring out my trim color. That dang quart cost nearly as much as this gallon!
 
Yep, we sprayed a aftermarket hood for this guys mystichrome Cobra about 8-10 years ago. That stuff is expensive!
Sprays easy though. When it first came out I was all excited to try it, then i was told how much it costs.......

It's like telling me how nice a ferrari is. I agree and admire them, but no consideration whatsoever about having one. Except for the latest lottery ticket of course, i'm feeling kind of lucky.......
 
Every induction system for a 351 is gonna hang way the hell up in the air. A conventional intake (Victor/Super victor) w/ either a 4 hole TB, or an elbow is gonna be UP there. If you go the opposite way, and put some low profile 1970's style stock height intake on the thing to get it to fit under a stock hood, you trade away any advantage a 351 will have over a 302, cause you'll choke the piss out of it.
Just look at this lifeless looking thing......

I think I'm gonna puke....:puke:This is 4.150" high.

Then look what happens when they only perform a vasectomy...(Balls still there, but no longer able to fully perform)

Ah Oh,......looking like maybe we better rethink the hole in the hood thing.....now we're hanging 5-3/4" up in the air.

And lastly,....coming in at the same height as our blank shooter, the " aint nobody touching my junk" offer.
