Wow Jack you took out the rear backing plates. That is great, she will be better then new when completed.

Everything comes apart and is refinished. Tis the only way to make it look right.

 

[GB1]

Right as always

and more parts, parts parts.

I have been priming my engine parts with black high temp over the counter stuff and then paining the with the correct Moss green paint. The cost is adding up.

Have you found a cheaper way, since the Moss cans are bout 15 buck a pop?

Noop, think it will take two cans of engine paint when I get to that point.

At the present I am useing just primer, regular atuo. on engine parts. But I have not done anything that has hight temp yet. The block and the head are still at the machine shop. Nothing should really need hi temp stuff really. Will not bother with exhaust manifold nothing that I know of works in any case includeing chrome plating, etc.

All other parts get a coat of primer and a coat of black rusttolum. Except for the fan and top bow which are yellow and gray respectively. So only three colors used the parts inclusive. Oh yes clear coat on alum, copper, and brass along with the hyd. lines.

Thanks Jack. I have gone through four cans so far and am looking at least at 2 more. So almost $100 to make it the correct green seems a lil pricey.

I thought Paul A. (Morriservice) sold the correct engine color paint. I do not know in what form or how much.
