Popular Post motorman7 Posted September 30, 2019 Author Popular Post Share #49 Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Finally have a little time to work on my car. Woo-Hoo!. Engine is coming along nicely. Car should be primered pretty soon. Will post those pics once they are ready. Here are some engine pics and jewelry pics for now. Still debating on what to do for the valve cover. Got dinged at ZCON for bead blasting cover. Will try just cleaning up with steel wool and see how that looks.

motorman7 Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share #50 Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Just saw the thread on the valve cover finish. Will have to check that out a bit closer and see how it looks with mine. I used '0000' steel wool and phosphoric acid for the initial clean (wear your gloves and goggles boys and girls). It looked a bit dull after that. Then went over it with '0000' steel wool and mothers mag polish. I think the look is close, but will read up on the valve cover finish thread. Got the latest pics from Miguel. Body is not primered.......Woo-Hoo!

motorman7 Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share #54 Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Cleaned and painted the CV shafts this weekend. I painted them with 'aluminum' spray paint which I think may be a bit too shiny. May re-do this in flat aluminum.

Well she's finally painted. Woo-Hoo! Guess that was done on Wednesday. Pics are lousy because of the shade in the morning, but nice to see it finally done. Shop will do a color sand and looks like I may be able to pick it up on Monday. That would be awesome. Parts are sitting in my garage, ready to install. 2 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/57799-to-buy-or-not-to-buythat-is-the-question/?page=5#findComment-599087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
