Hey all, I just got the bits and pieces back from the sandblaster and plan is as follows: epoxy prime bend and trial fit and work them to where I want them 2k primer basecoat 2k clear sound good? likely to stand up to temps around the cylinders and in the engine bay with all the vibrations and oil mist and heat etc etc?

Obviously a cut and buff will help show up the surface irregularities better, so here it is before that happens 🙂 hopefully one day there will be pics of it actually on the engine or... [gasp] in the back of the car.

That is the most dedication I have ever seen to tinware. 😵 Please use sexy new stainless steel screws and washers when assembling.

They're only from 1971 dude :P

If/when they peel and chip I'll take them off and get them powdercoated, but I'm hoping they'll last at least for the break in so I can drive it to work and have a 'completed' vehicle. The guys there have been on my back for three years asking me when it's going to be finished, and if things keep going the way they are it WILL be in a museum. Probably Whiteman Park. 😂
