    V6 Conversion and Restoration Pictures

    Hi Kelly, thanks for the nice comments. Yes it is a single stage urethane. I'm using TCP Global's paint. So far I've been happy with it and their store is in San Diego so it allows me to go and ask them tons of questions. Thanks for the clutch slave picture and help too BTW. Tom
