Rick,

That looks great. A batch of stuff I sent to the painter (including my intake, oil pan and valve covers) is going to be delivered on Saturday. He painted it with the Tieman mix and I will post pictures once I get it. I am planning to reshoot everything once it is assembled, but I wanted a good baked on finish as a starting point.

Rick -a few questions:

1) are you going to repaint everything post assembly?
2) did you first paint your exhaust crossover with high temp exhaust manifold coating?
3) where did you get your choke housing cover?

1) are you going to repaint everything post assembly? No, I just painted the manifold separately. I got too picky about the crossover as I didn't want to do the overspray on part of it and have part of it rust which I believe is the correct way.
2) did you first paint your exhaust crossover with high temp exhaust manifold coating? the crossover I fully painted it with the 62210 which is incorrect, and on the shield I used 1200 degree engine silver.
3) where did you get your choke housing cover? It's the factory choke cover, I just cleaned it up with some metal polish and steel wool.
