Now that's a Patina!
« on: January 31, 2015 - 04:40:03 PM »
72 Cuda, owned 25 years. 496, with ported Stage VI heads, .625 in solid roller, 254/258 at .050, 3500 stall, 3.91 rear. 850 Holley DP, Reverse manual valve body.

1999 Trans Am, LS1, heads, cam, headers, stall, etc! Love to surprise the rice rockets with this one. They seem so confident, then it's "what the heck just happened?"

Eastwood makes a flat clear that they are marketing as "Patina Preserver" in rattle cans. Any paint shop could whip up some flat or semi glass clear to cover it with.
