Re: No Camshaft

Yes, that is exactly what it means. The tint is not exact to the shade you have chosen, but it is red or blue, etc; depending on your topcoat color. In PPG the K36 is tintable and there are others in...

Re: 1940 Hot Air Heater:
It seems likely you would get some engine orders at least, but I've never been in a car with one. I was lucky; my car had a hot water heater in it when I bought it. I know they can be pricey now.

Re: Metal to Metal sealer
On the inside of my car, I used the Hirsch Miracle Paint after removing the Ford "tar". I think POR 15 would work also. I'm useing paintable seam sealer on all the body and floor pan seams.
