Anyone have any advice on which red paint to use for interior applications? Does anyone make paint in this color or do I just match it up as best as I can?

You could find a color chart to look at stang colors to be more sure about it.
free shipping so you could order a can & if it looked good enough order more. for the price difference & if your not so picky you could just try to match it with something cheaper from the parts store.

Primed and painted the dash panel. Used Chrysler flame red dupli-color. Getting closer to wiring.

Keep the pictures coming. I am about a month away from starting my re-wire and have decided on the Ron Francis kit also.

Thanks,

column looks good! :D & pedal. How do you like those taylor plug wires? I've had 2 sets like those & I think they are the easiest I've ever had to remove from the plug. easy to twist to break the seal & easy to pull on off after that. makes checking plugs much easier, especially in tight places like on comets.

Thanks Johno. I like the taylor wires. Youre right... easy on and easy off.
