I got the paint from Supercar Restorations


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The color looks spot on for 1964-1968 Race Hemi's, Street Hemi's, and Max Wedges, it's typically called "Race Hemi Orange". That's the first I've seen of thier paint, looks just as close as what Frank Badelson sells.

As far as nit picking your detailing job, pretty tough to do without being there, you definately have it very close, any small stuff would likely relate to paint application (bare areas, overspray, etc.) hose and belt markings, etc. Of course wrong oil filter, other noted missing componants you mentioned, and I think your alternator needs some help.

Scott, I started another thread to nit pick my problem areas. I need all the help I can get . I didn't have my alternator sent out and done, could you give me some pointers that I could do to make it more correct?

Thanks
Dan.

I pulled this from the other thread as a lead in to save some typing.

Ok, on the alternator, the Stator (the bare steel looking part sandwiched between the front and rear case halves) should have a brownish gold color as they were coated with an insulating varnish when new, the rear case deatils aren't eveident in your pics but you should have date stamped/part#'d diodes as well as a ribbed style Torington center bearing plus other small screw plating details, also, most of them had colored splashes of inspection markings around the positive post area and the back side of the case. Jim Ridge fromDixie Restorations can likely help you on all that.

*BTW, R/T, his alternator bracket is fine

There is gas in them .
Was there any type of tab or bracket used to hold the choke tube in to the choke housing? Where could I get information on paint markings to do the engine,and for that matter the rest of the car and drive train.

Thanks
Dan

Looks great Dan. The only things I see beside what has been stated already, and this is getting nickle/dime, there usually is a small amount of overspray on the valve covers right at the base. The engines were painted with the valve covers on and the taping off was hit and miss. The plug wires may also have paint marks slopped on them. Carb ID tags? When is it going in? Drop me a line to let me know how things are going. Holgar

I agree on the valve covers being installed when painted (masked off) and usually had the gaskets and a fine edge of paint near the very edges of the covers in areas (it was usually not very uniform). Also, often times the plug wires having traces of paint as well (that would have been covered in my generalized paint details comment).

The spark plug wires and distributor were installed as a unit pre-assembled, the paint was still wet when the wires were dragged around on the engine to route them and often picked up small smears of paint. Also, many plug wires have tiny speckles of paint indicating that they were in the line of fire when the engine was being painted, so it's likely that the wires were'nt far away when the engine was painted, possibly the distributor assembly was installed and masked off somehow. The fuel lines & filters were also installed when the engine was wet, often the lines & filters will have paint smears on them as well.
