Cold for sure. The engine is gloss clear it does look darker in the picture.
I'm trying to get the gas service extended through the cellar to the garage and hopefully the heater installed.

More time in the garage today. We got the ZL1 lid on and the swap plates and motor mounts. We had to grind down the spacer plates from the back of the poly motor mounts so they would sit flat against swap plates, then I sprayed them with some paint to prevent any rust build up. If I would have thought of it before I painted the swap plate, I would have routed them out to fit. Lesson learned.
I had -12 AN fittings put on the the ZL1 lid so I can use a -12 to-16 hose fittings to matchup to my Stewart EMP water pump which has a 1" hose ends, it should make a difference in the IAT2 temps with more flow.

Looks great Wayne keep plugging away!

Looking good, I think you'll get yours on the road before I will.

Looking good Wayne!

The Moreno brothers make it though for all of us. After seeing that engine/engine bay I just can't help but want to do some of the same. :G-Dub:

Rich you must have ESP I was going to E mail you to see how its going. I hope your getting a lot of mile on that car of yours.

Thanks guys! The planets have aligned for me to get some stuff done in the garage.

I spent most of the day in the garage working on getting the transmission prepped and clear coated. First I had to go and pick up a new respirator my old one failed on me when I painted the engine. I didn't smell anything but boy did I get dizzy and a head ache. Not good!
I washed it down and sprayed it and the dust cover. They look pretty good. This paint is easy to spray because I'm usually heavy handed when I spray but no sags with this paint.

Looks good Wayne! Clearing it will certainly help to keep it clean or help to make it easier to clean when it needs it.

Thank you guys, I appreciate it.
