Re: Patch panels
KBS Coatings also sells a cavity wax.
I used several of their products on my 55 Victoria.

Re: I rebuild y blocks!
Reddog,
I'm looking for a .010 under main bearing for a 312. Have you got one from a broken set you could sell? Or anyone reading this?
Thanks

Re: Looking for Paint
Thanks, Guys.
I hadn't thought to go to a body shop.. I race with a guy who owns one, I will ask him. I know he uses high end stuff on his custom work.
