Thanks! The air cleaner base was powder coated. I did the rest with Dupli-Color 500' engine enamel. I also smoothed & molded my firewall and hid alot of vacuum lines & wires. Next week I plan to do a thread on it after I get some better pics..........

with my new resto, i am going with a black and silver engine bay. i am going with semi gloss black, flat black, gloss black, natural aluminum, polished aluminum, and stainless. i am going to do my best to stay as close as possible to having nothing but black or silver showing under the hood. it will be a little while before i can start posting pics.

This is a pic with my old engine (406). The new 434 engine will look a little different..
There will be a Dominator on top and not a 4150 series carb..

My sig pic is an older pic of the engine. I now have a set of Billet Specialties ball milled valve covers. I'm going to take some new pics as soon as the Global Warming kicks in. 
BTW, I like chrome.
