Absolutely fantastic Chris! Truly a stellar job and I look forward to seeing this car done.

Hey Chris nice to visit with yesterday in Austin ! Once you get it up and running we need to shoot over to Tx DPS Fleet and show the car to Fleet.

Thanks Tom, great to get to visit with you again and see your beautiful TX DPS once more! I'm excited to get to join the club soon, and I think we will definitely need to run the car up to fleet to get their blessing on the authenticity!

Wow, impressive!

Almost ready to be running again. Probably the first time in 20 years or so under EFI power.

Very nice. Is it '86 spec? Or did you go with the better '87 and up heads?

It is full 86 spec, will have original mufflers and exhaust as well, I want it to be as true to the original car as I can get.

Damn nice job! I absolutely agree with you on how hard it is to find blue seats or let alone a nice complete regetta blue interior set! :(

What color did you use to paint your motor like that?

ChrisL 08-10-2011 08:38 PM

Regatta is so tough to find! The paint is Ford Engine Gray, standard color for '86!

Yep i feel your pain... Nice job on the engine! I believe i used the same color, by Rustoleum. You used the same thing?
