Enamel will take longer to 'cure'. Urethane is easier to find and mix. That said, 'I' prefer the enamel. Why? Looks better, more durable and it was the correct type of paint Ford used.

Quote from: deathsled on April 15, 2024, 11:16:44 AMOn our current trajectory, it is not out of the realm of possibility.  2024 is shaping up to be a pivotal year.

The trajectory of division has never been greater. Nine million, unskilled, illegal aliens by the end of this year will result in ghettos no different than Nogales or Juarez. The cartels will take root in every major city.  Political assassinations will occur.   Media control by the deep state will assign guilt provoking those prone to riot.  Martial law and firearm confiscation will be at hand.  Inflation will parallel every socialist country. Youth indoctrinated with socialism will gladly accept the new order.  Those that generate wealth via agriculture, manufacturing, construction, mining, etc. and own land, and hoard ammo, will forge a formidable alliance.  A civil war is inevitable.

Absolutely correct, and it will happen. However, the current administration boasts "Everything is great!"

Yep, I ran the Cross-Boss and the 875cfm Inline. Check out my avatar...a 1425cfm 'B' Inline on my current Boss 429 (Can-Am 494) engine.

...And history was made. Think about that. With no Mustang, the car world would be very different...

The latest info as of a few years ago, Paul at Inline Tube bought it.

My old 1970 Boss 302 T/A car...

There is a reason Glendale is now called: 'GlenDead'

Don't forget the AAR 'Cuda's...

Amazing, the comment "OJ, you will be missed". Really. Making a convicted felon, and brutal dual murdering man a stand up pilar of society...

Years ago when we did an interview with Bondo, I asked him about his '87/'88 T-Bird Turbo Coupes with the 5.0 HO cars he used. "Can I buy one?" was my question. He replied, "Nope, they were all returned to Ford and crushed". That being said, I wouldn't be surprise at least one or two survived(?). And, yes they were built by Roush.

Team Shelby event: https://www.shelbystore.com/product-p/z79-bash24-ticket.htm

Thanks I'll pass - $765 to participate in everything. I won't even do their "shop tour" to watch guys swap parts on cars for $59.

I'm out also. No reason to pay to look at cars...
Can go down the street to Henderson for Cars 'n Coffee for free.

IF I don't work, I will be there.

One can only imagine how many other great films he might have made.

Yes. However guys like him in Hollywood during his last days were dying out. McQueen's 'The Hunter' and 'Tom Horn' films were flops at the box office. John Wayne died a year earlier in 1979. By 1981, him and other legendary actors were pretty much finished. The 1980's brought in a new wave of actors like Sean Penn, Brad Pit, Alley Sheedy, etc. The 'Brat Pack' was the rage. Sad, but true.

True. Who's left? Clint Eastwood, 93 and Gene Hackman, 94 come to mind.

Eastwood is the last holdout. Hackman retired a few years ago.

Times like this is when I really miss Randy Gillis RIP aka gt350hr. He would have known.

That is where I got the info on the 385 series and the 400 'turds' (Randy's exact words!) experiments. According to Randy, there were de-stroked 400s and some form of the 429 wedge versions also. Eventually, the 351 Cleveland was used.
