Its Ellis Hy-Lux one stage,with wet look hardner added. It sprays really thick eaven when reduced a bit extra, so it will go along ways ended up using about 1/3 of 1 gallon. Sorry for the low- res picture it was taken with my phone.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne

Update, I started to gather some of the paint supplys I got the clear 2 gallons of Dupont Imron, yes the stuff that got outlawed in Cali. Game plan I will start by removing the front clip to get to the old 350 pulling it out, strip interior, remove cab and bed, clean the frame, paint the frame, then work on the exterior body bringing it down to bare metal, tubbing the rear drop in a Ford 9", install 4 link, paint exterior, then finally drop the LS, wire the new set up, run new wet lines, list goes on and on...This swap has been past due as I was suppose to move on Feb, but escrow got delayed, so i will start the swap after i move hopefully by the end of this month.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne

Man I miss the old school IMRON. The switch to the low VOC IMRON 5000 was a beating back when it come out in the mid 90's. You almost couldn't make it dry. The IMRON 6000 low VOC base/clear had an awesome cross linking clear (99S, IIRC) that flowed like glass, and fast, too. I think they outlawed that everywhere, though.

The only bad thing you will find with the IMRON is that it is like sanding a rock if you have to go back and color sand it.
