Hi Brady. Looking good. Just wondering if that paint is Santaupe Metallic. This is a correct color on '37 LaSalles. Engine sounds good. John C. Lehman CLC # 26365....

The paint is rattle can blue. My rebuilder said this blue was near to the correct color,I didn't think so but that is not the original engine. The engine is a military engine that had a number of different layers of color on it. I am ok with color because I don't want anyone who knows better to think I am trying to fool people by using Cadillac green. Those who know know better and those who don't know don't so I'm ok with it.
