Let’s hear a 340 story

I went to see a 1970 Dart many many years ago with a 340 six pak
Engine in it. I knew the guy for years and the car was local. Nice car but a wrecked drivers side fender. It has a fresh paint job and I knew the fender could never be repainted and match the car. I asked how the heck did they paint this car. He laughed and said the guy painting the car never put a mask on. He put two coats on and went outside where he had a tire burning. He put a sniffer near it sucking in the smoke and blew it into the fresh paint. It had the black stringers from the tire right in the paint. Then he told me before he started the paint job he cleared everybody out of the shop, leaned against the car, and smoked two joints by himself. Lol. I passed on buying that one.
My Dad did that with a carburizing flame from an O/A torch on an old jeep truck he painted. Looked cool
