A couple of small updates. The engine is finally home in my garage for the fist time. This is the closest the car and motor have been to each other.


I spent 2 days in the garage cleaning and prepping the Trans for paint.
I have a new appreciation for Al Morenos' son's patients.







Now all I have to do is rewash it and figure how to get paint evenly in all those little squares.

An automotive paint retailer can almost always put any color you need into a spray (rattle) can.... then get yourself a rattle can handle/trigger..... it makes a way more pleasant job out of it and you'll have way more control.

Personally --- I'd use an etching primer first -- then the color... ask your paint store for matching products.
