    We did not use REAL cosmoline spray but Eastwoods Heavy Duty Anti-rust coating which looks and feels exactly like Cosmoline.
    I bought a can of real Cosmoline and was surprised to see it doesn't have the dark yellow color that it used to, it's almost clear.

    Where did you get your information on original factory markings? I'm about done with my restoration and don't have all of those details.

    Absolutely fantastic job!  :cheers:

    Check out www.iccahome.org if you already havn't.  I just ordered their fastener guide but they also have an E-body reference guide that shows all of the inspection marks normally found on these cars.  There website has a lot of great pictures on it also.  Even if you don't buy one of their manuals, you can get a really good understanding of the paint marks by just looking through those pics.

    there was another member here with a white/ red 70 vert...  can`t remember the color of the top though.
    I think the guy was somewhere in the middle-east and started restoration after an accident.  Cant remember the name either...  :eek7:  :clueless:
    Hey Bart, the members name was Farouk :thumbsup: i probably could find what his member name is... :grinyes:

     :dunno: not sure.... i am not sure if his car was a factory Red interior car or not either. Will have to have a look after to see if i can find that info. Maybe send him a message to find out progress ?
    His name is Challenger_7

    I had a look and Farouk's Challenger is a White vert with a Red interior, but it is a 71 Challenger and is not supposed to have a Red interior so it is not factory Red trim. Still a good looking car though. :2thumbs:

    Unbelievable job!!   She is drop dead gorgeous.  :droolingbounce:

     My only question/comment (since you asked) is about the air cleaner - I always thought that the one you have on it was a '71 only air cleaner for 340 E-bodies.  I may be wrong but that's what I had been lead to believe.  Maybe Barry or someone else with more knowledge than me will chime in about this...

    The dual snorkleless air cleaner was a 1970 340 thing only to my knowledge.

    I've gotten into arguments over this question  :hyper: My 1970 340 came with the dual snorkel-less air cleaner - called "unsilenced"

    Like you requested I did find one minor incorrect installation detail - the plastic splash shields that fasten to the underside of the subframe next to the front strut bars are pop riveted in place, not bolted. They are very large diameter pop rivets (normal shank size) and you can buy them although I can't remember where I got them. If you need me to research that let me know.
