X3 !!!!!!

When I replied to the OP that the 57 Ford and Chevy engines both had a red/orange color, I didn't mean that they were the SAME color, so I apologize to the OP if that was how it came across. In my defense, I did say that the Ford engine color was "Ford Red" and included a link to Macs engine paint, so hopefully it didn't create too much of a problem for his decision on the 57 T-Bird.
