Well, Shaun....You have a headstart. You already have a one piece export brace and great looking valve covers and air cleaner.

Repaint:



EDIT: I officially hate spraypaint and will never do it again. Seems no matter how well you paint, it just never looks that good.

That looks alot better. Nice job, it sounds like you had no problems doing it. That would probably be a weekend project for me

And, get a recovery system on your radiator so you doesn't lose rad fluid when she heats up.

That really looks nice!
You can pick up a spray compressor with a gun and a couple of tips for less than $100.00 if you watch Costco or some of the local tool places. They work better than spray cans, but take some practice, and are more work to use.

So when are you going to do the pulleys and the radiator?

I saw a real nice billet (or spun) aluminum coolant recovery bottle shaped like a long tube on ebay. Seemed to be pretty reasonably priced. The capacity needs to equal the the volume of the unfilled portion of the upper radiator tank (about 3 cups) to be truly effective.
