Hammerite vs. Hammertone and TurboCity

[Roger Scow <rscow@domain.elided>]

I used a paint that sounds like Hammerite on the heater in my 1950 Ch#%y
PU.  It shot on like normal paint, and then a beautiful mottled/marbled
effect came up as it dried.  Spectacular.  Is this the same stuff?  The PU
is sold, but not forgotten.  I like the Traveler better.  It runs.

By the way, all you flex-fanners out there, what size do you use?  The
original IHC fan is about 17".  But it looks like a larger one could work.
I have a free 18" fan available.

I liked the TurboCity webpage.  Excellent site.  The turbocity guys quoted
me as follows:

>> So how much to install a single TBI system on an International Harvester
>> V392 engine?  Currently has 4bbl Edelbrock Performer carb.  No other

>> Do you need to weld 02 sensor on exhaust pipe, or on exhaust manifold?  Do

Sounds like an expensive, but well put together alternative to the
Edelbrock and Holley setups.
