Also, despite not having the original engine in the restored engine bay, everything will be correct except the VIN on the block, and all parts that are being replaced are being replaced with NOS or repro parts that are as correct as possible. For the most part the items being replaced are wear items - belts, hoses, bushings, ball joints, wire harnesses.

The Diamond Clear looks worth further research. I wonder how, or if, it differs from the Eastwood Diamond Clear? I have been spraying all bare metal that is not a friction or wear point with the Eastwood product.
Bob - glad you took it the right way as I intended.

Your Y88 build is reminiscent to me of becoming a NMCA or Pure Stock Drag appearance build - certainly nothing wrong with that, and certainly fits the the general format IMO.

No knowledge or use of the Clear Diamonf product other than Hemmings ads, did find this http://www.autobody101.com/forums/vi...c.php?p=106855 that is pretty interesting and may provide you more info.
