Congrats on the new ride Dave, I'm sure you will enjoy it. Lots of things you can do to that V-6 to improve it. Later model heads and intake are worth 40 HP.
Changing the color will break the bank.There is no cheap way unless you like to see teal everytime you open the hood,doors,and trunk.Originally posted by dg28182
That's a nice little gain.
I don't think that I'll be building up the 6, tho.. I'm eventually going to put in a 5.0 after I get other things taken care of first.. like, better wheels, suspension stuff possibly.. a shifter, bla bla ..
Oh, and does anyone know of a good place to go for a good paint job that won't break the bank? Teal isn't my thing.

Not necessarily, but the only cheap way I know of involves doing all the prep work yourself (stripping the interior, engine bay, etc) and taking the shell to the bodyshop. If you take the car to the shop as is, Josh is right. It'll be a horribly expensive affair.
Just for comparison, my Dad took his '58 to the bodyshop of a friend of the family's. No bodywork needed, just a prep and pain of the entire car, interior, exterior, engine bay etc. As is got an estimate of $3200 (and that was with the friend of the family discount). My dad and I stripped it, loaded the shell on the trailor and took it down there. Total cost: $450. It took a solid week of disassymbly and another week and a half to put it back together but it did save him a ton of cash.

Looks pretty nice with the Cobra wheels and lowering springs.
Did you change the tint of the color in the pic also?
