Sounds like an inexpensive way to paint, cool deal. I know we spent about that much for the Viper red on my son's 56 ferd F-100.
You may need to change the rear gears to 3.55 or deeper, I am surprised a 383 4 speed came with 3.23's. My 74 Challenger 360 came with a 3.55 SG..... got a spare clutch 3.55's....
The paint on mine is Black, with Cherry pearl and metalflake, makes a very interesting "old school" Chameleon effect.
