    1968 300 tail light panel - silver argent?

    NLA from A-1 Racing Products either :( so I guess I'm going to be looking for another product. I'm going to give the Kyrlon aluminum a try and see how it looks. If it looks pretty good I'll post some pics

    1968 300 tail light panel - silver argent?

    Nevermind that....they emailed me saying the order was canceled because it is out of stock with no ETA I notice that on SummitRacing they suggest as a subsitute Mopar Performance Paint P4529876AB, but it is also NLA. I found the original on A-1 racing Products so ordered it there. We'll see...

    1968 300 tail light panel - silver argent?

    I don't doubt that the paint and also the metallic flakes in the paint do fade/tarnish/etc. over time. Yeah, that's probably the best bet -- to just try and stay consistent. What is the Mopar spray bomb??

    1968 300 tail light panel - silver argent?

    Thanks for the info. It even has a paint code which I never knew about. I took the tail lights out and could see that whoever painted it did not remove them, instead just masked them, so there is a different shade which was hidden. It does not look like the silver argent paint I bought to...

    1968 300 tail light panel - silver argent?

    The earlier 68 300's that had the silver painted tail light panel -- was that painted with the silver argent? The one I'm working on was repainted by someone with just a run of the silver paint and I'd like to get it more like original.

    SOLD 1973 Imperial LeBaron (TB)

    I do like this car. But I'm not sure it would fit in the garage, seriously! With the 68 300 there's maybe a foot of clearance behind the car to bring the garage door down. I'd have to cut a little rectangle out of the wall where the front of the car would stick out. How is she at highway...

    Replacement Aftermarket Camshaft for 383-4 and 440HP engines

    When I was a teenager (in the 80's) I put a new set of Rhodes lifters into a 440 that had a "purple cam" in it (of unknown variation) to try and get a little more low-end and vacuum. I didn't know any better that you should replace the cam and lifters together as a set. My friend's father, who...

    My brother and I will be coming with our gold 68 300 coupe. But as usual, the 300's will probably not be next to the C-body section :rolleyes: We're staying at the Red Roof Inn

    Where and how to buy paint

    Did you order the Dupont online or buy it locally? And was the price you paid about like tcpglobal's $582 per gallon?

    Where and how to buy paint

    Geez...I wonder what's up with that. I looked up spinnaker white on tcpglobal. I didn't take note of the pricing but it seemed to be in the range of what you paid. I had to find Turbine Bronze on autocolorlibrary.com, here's what I find: I checked the pricing on some of the other 1968...

    Where and how to buy paint

    Thanks this is all great information! Up until now I was thinking that for an amateur a single-stage would be the way to go but you guys have changed my mind. I do like the idea of being able to touch up problems with the BC/CC because...well...amateur. I know painting everything at once is...
