Re: 77 Cheyenne meets Ramjet 350 by N2TRUX

The color decision was not an easy one, but we finally decided to use the bright silver. I had decided that I wanted chrome brackets and accessories because I did not want anything that required polishing. The color we are using goes very well with the chrome parts.

I don't have any pics to document the prep and paint of the motor so I'll prolong the suspense just a bit longer. I decided I wanted an OD transmission installed along with the new motor. My brother-in-law has been building transmissions for 30+ years so he got elected to do the job. We found a leter version of the 700r4 and he built it to his specs. Besides the fact that he is very good at what he does, I let him do it because he gave me a brother-in-law deal. It should be smooth as silk under normal acceleration, and have a nice firm shift when pushed hard.

This will give you a clear look at the color we used.
