[Tigers] FW: Engine paint

[Ron Fraser]

Andy
	Without some documentation from the original engine I don't know
which color.  I believe your Vin # fits within the window for it to have the
engine painted blue.

	If your happy with the color; that is all that matters.

Ron:

I'd be quite happy to fill out one of your worksheets, but I never did
simply because my car came to me with a 289 in place of the original 260.
Where the original 260 went is anybody's guess.  The 260 that I'm building
was an virgin motor out of a '64 Fairlane and, under all the dirt and oil,
was black.  However, using the info that I've taken from past conversations
on this list, as well as from TBON, I painted it Ford Dark Blue (last night,
as a matter of fact).  Man...I hope I haven't made a color mistake...
