I got my water pumps back from Skip today...they look great! I have everything to put my car back together except for one thing...paint. My engine paint is 4000 miles away in Fairbanks. The engine is the stock green (or close too it). The darkest green Ace has is Hunter Green and it's too light. Anybody know where I can get some engine paint near Clarkston MI? I'm tossing around the idea of painting them black but I'm still not convinced. I'd like to get the car running tomorrow if possible.

For me I stuck with stock color green, available from
Roy Nacewicz he sells an outstanding product and a pleasure to talk to. I'm sure he will ship to your location.

Capt. - PS - I used to live in Fairbanks in 51, 52 and '53. I'm sure things have changed since then.

Paint them black them use the Ace green. Maybe that will darken them?...... Mark

Mark...I thought about doing that. With the heat index over 100 and the car outside, the desire to get it finished up this weekend is pretty much gone.
