    So far the consensus for the correct 1967 engine color is Duplicolor's Ford Dark Blue 1606. Ford started using this color in 1966. Does everyone agree?

    There is also Old ford blue 1621, and Ford blue 1601.

    Don't want to go thru all of this and paint the engine the wrong color.

    PS More pics coming tonight!!

    I defer to the Rev on that. I'm sure he'll be by. He'd have the charts at work, but he's probably done enough himself to say. I just took what the Parts guy said was Ford Engine Blue. :confused:

    Now that you've painted the Mobile Rembrandt in Rolling Ash, you might find this site really useful for detailing the Dash or Gauges or other surface materials. :D

    I showed my wife your good work, and she wanted to know if you were enroute, if we drive down to her parents in North East Mexico. She went to my car, and back to your pics 3 times! She was diplomatic, but you got the number one spot, from both of us. Impressive! I did all mine in one day, but far less than 94 pieces. I think it was 28 or so. Anyway this is not an Automotive site. Its a model, miniature, all materials, non-artistic, but sort of artsy-fartsy site - the kind that inspires other methods.

    I had a new 1968 Mercury Parklane Brougham with a 429 and that final color is what the valve covers looked like! Right on the button.
