I hate to tell you this but your engine is missing.

Thanks, I never would have known.
Did a little lookin' around and here's what I came up with.

This ought to work, eh?

Talk to someone that does body work and has exp blasting vets with baking soda.
This way you don't need to take off any crome etc.
Maybe they can blast the front end if that's were the cracks are and just paint that area. Some of these guys are really good and can match up the new paint to the old.

Black is the best color to match up I am told.

Starship,
do you have any pictures of the front with the hood, showing the blue flames?

Sorry, no I don't. I'll set the hood on this weekend and drop a pic here, if ya don't mind waitin' a few days. She's been under a tarp the last week or so due to rain, but It's supposed to clear up for the weekend.
