Now, now there OT, stop blaming your computer. We know your mind is on working on your bomber and you are just not concentrating on posting your pictures right. Take a few deep breaths and try again. ha ha Concentrate man, concentrate!

   I have a few more pieces painted & put to one side to dry more before handling. Also I will put another coat of paint on the trans after replacing the filter & gasket. This is my first time doing anything like, & I must say I feel good about what I have done so far.

Looking good O.T.  What shade of blue is that?

the old trucker:

  It looks a little different in some pics, but I think it's where the sun was on it. That color paint is the same as Grors. It's called "OLD FORD BLUE" made by Plastic Kote. The grey on the trans & will be on the goose neck, water, & fuel pumps is called a rebuilders cast paint. Color is "Rebuilders Grey" made by the same crowd. It looks like the original shade of new parts like the master cylinder.They have different colors in that too. I bought 3 cans of blue. Just started to use the third can now. You may get away with 2 if you know how to paint. I bought it @ Canadian Tire.
  I used an old flat screwdriver, hammer & four or five of those small wire wheels (different shapes) that fit into a drill to chip & clean the scales of rust off. Little tip: once in awhile put your drill in reverse & it's like putting in a new brush!! Orin If you can get @ your frost plugs easy now is the time to change them. I had three that were ready to leak. Only $1.40 each. Call it preventative maintenance.
