were the engines painted by hand? i was told by a very knowledgeable restorer that they were painted by paint jets as they went past in a cradle of some sort? i haven`t seen any original paint engines to work things out yet even though i`ll be restoring a 65 273 signet engine soon with factory red on it, and my 69 charger is all original but haven`t got around to that yet. where were they held for the painting process? engine mounts? where else?
all the best
frank.
If that were the case then almost every engine painted on that line would be the same. There would be a pattern since it was somewhat automated. From all the original cars i have seen there are so many different paint patterns that it only leads to the engines being hand painted.
