It's looking very good!  Are you having trouble finding out what color the engine paint should have been, or in locating the color you're looking for? ???

Rick,
I’m having trouble with both, as I’m sure you know 71 & 72 engine color is different then other years. Classic Industries offers a color they call teal that they say is for 71 & 72 but it’s out of stock and they are having OER make new paint for them???
Thanks to all and their kind comments!

it is a hard paint to come by though i know napa carries it. you may get a guy who knows what he's talking about or may also want to take a look at their stock on the shelf one day. i can check with my uncle to see if he has a can left around to get you their pairt number. we had some troubles finding it as well when we needed it.

I'll check with my local NAPA. Please pass along any part # you may find.
Thank You!

You have just motivated me. I cant wait to  see the end results. I just want to say THANKS for letting us enjoy this with you. I just picked up a 76 455 and am just getting started....

Looks really great! Thanks for posting all the progress. Makes me want to go out and work on mine.(oops, it's midnight) The pic of your interior really blew me away. Great to see your son involved.

Restore my drive shaft and unitized distributor last week. The distributor tested out good on the bench I hope it works well in the car? I still like to get another set of wires just can't find any.
