1965 Dodge Dart Charger
Today I glass beaded the NOS lower control arm. Wow! Even had time to do the timing chase cover. And the K frame! Can hardly wait until the paint arrives.
After serching for evidence how Chrysler painted the engine I opened an untouched 273 from February 1964 converted to HiPo by Chrysler in autuum of 1964! See tag!
When they painted the HiPo 273s they just didn't have the covers in place!!! See all the paint between the springs! Couldn't belive it!
The steel gasket wasfull of paint on both sides. Chrysler must have painted the whole engine incl exhaust manifolds and gasket red. I haven't seen any red exhaust manifolds but I guess that the paint disapear pretty fast.
