Do you already have the headers or stock manifolds? 340's were pretty spunky from the factory with the exhaust manifolds, so if you aren't going to race it but just enjoy some spirited driving occasionally, stock manifolds will be more than adequate.

I used Dupli Color Plastic and Vinyl paint. I picked it up at O'Reilly's.
Get the adhesion promoter as well.
Clean, clean and clean again, apply adhesion promoter and paint.

That is a nice looking car, I used to have one in the late 70's, wish I still had it.
That truck is sweet. I wish I could find a deal like that. On a side note, I would be hard pressed to pull that bed in exchange for a flat bed, it's just to cool the way it is.

Welcome to the forum. My condolences for your loss, and that of your step daughter. I truly hope for you and her that ya'll can eventually at least visit from time to time.
Nice, interesting project.
