Thinking I might just go all silver... Bolt everything together cover up my valley and spray 'er all at once (multiple coats obviously). Seems it'd be the easiest I guess.

Ill snap some shots when i get it bolted up.

I got my motor balnaced and all new bearings, put a e-cam in. I was planing on masking my heads off like you were saying and painting them silver, kinda like aluminum heads. Bt thats just to much work, so i just sparayed the whole thing.

As for the father-in-laws 427, all were waiting on is the heads, we ordered them direct from AFR, and they said they got a bad shipment in, they declined 60 plus heads they said, so another two weeks we wait.

Haha when she's all put back together and summer has come. Too cold and too much salt on the road still. It'll be atleast the mid-end of April before snow isn't a factor. So it'll be a while yet unfortunately.
