Rat first, paint later. after all it's better to scrape the rubber off the old paint then the new paint :D

You heard my answer last night --- motor then paint.

I would hate to see a bunch of greasy handprints all over the new yellow paint.

Duhhhhh... The BB motor to enjoy the ride as meant to be. Paint is for all others who want to look at and wish they were driving the BB motored automobile!!!! Geez, and to think I was in the minority on the other thread as to which to pick: a blown small block or a built big block. :rolleyes:
