I'm in California the land of restrictions so the only solvent based paint I can get is Omni, Nason, and Limco. I use Nason.

Its so bad here that I went to my paint supply to get a gallon of Prep-All wax and grease remover and he told me it was illegal to sale the gallon can, I could only get it aerosol cans. The same brand mind you, same exact product but illegal in a gallon can. Crazy.

Bam
How are they distorting the laws to restrict sales on W/G remover ?

Sounds like OSHA is way out of line in a lot of what they are restricting again.
I thought the Law was written to protect the Home Hobbyist from unfair regulation seams to me the opposite is true.

So after all the blocking, blocking and more blocking I have some color. It came out pretty nice.

Now its time to install the engine and trans and wire it up.

I also got some goody's for the truck. I went with the Dakota Digital VHX 55-56 Belair gauges.

I'm still chipping away little by little lately.
