What do you think ???????

 

Nice! I like them very much.

 

Seeing this thread reminded me about mine... I've already got them painted (silver) just need to order the darn gaskets.

I'll try to get that knocked out this week

 

BTW Al -- Nice work!!

 

Thumbs up, buddy! Lookin' good.

 

Thanks, but all the credit goes to maxcichon, he did the glass bead blasting and painting, all I did was bolt 'em on ........

 

And I sure hope they don't leak!

 

They don't. Just ran over to Wedowee to get some non ethanol premium, about 20 miles each way, no leaks.
HOWEVER ! That paint sure do stink till it gets over it's out gassing .....

 

Only a couple of runs....

 

That looks good to me.

Maybe you can help please.
Was this VHT?
If so did Max put them in the oven at 200°F, or were they cured on the car?
I have a set to do some time, I may do the plenums as well but I'm not sure of the color scheme yet.

 

Thanks, I like them.

see ad from Advance Auto below.
Max waited until his wife was out of the house and baked them in the oven.
Be prepared for some pretty strong odor until they have completely cured.

 

Nice! Intake manifold next?

 

Nope, gonna leave it wheel paint silver.

Do you recognize those valve covers ? You probably don't, since they look nothing like they did when you sent them to me. ( Not trashing you Josh, I know they came off that old salvage engine )

 

Lmao they definitely turned out better than they looked before, that's for damn sure. It looks nice with the manifold silver too. But hey, if you were trashing me, in a way it'd your fault in the first place! I seem to recall someone directing me towards that adventure .

 

VHT Black. 2 coats of VHT Engine Primer. Oven cured and the rattle-can directions followed. 3 coats, cross-hatched and add more, if needed after a few hours.
Takes a LONG time to dry-no touching.

Put old screws in the threaded holes. Chase threads when finished. (Don't ask).

 

Looks very good; professional job to you both.
