You should atleast paint the heads or polish them, looks bad with the cast finish. around all the other polish components and paint.
Do it now while its out.


Just my .02cents so the project takes longer.

GW - My hats off to ya! Not many people in your position have the talent or the cahonies to tackle a job of this caliber.

You talk the talk and walk the walk buddy.

I'm just the wrench.... It's not my car... so I don't call any of the shots. I've pushed pretty hard to get him to do some of the things over that needed some "modernizing". It's tough to tell a guy with a beautiful car - that he built - "er... um... dude... ya think that really looks good?" "How 'bout we rip that all out and start over."


I usually just start that conversation the Greg Weld way --- "WTF were you thinking -- oh wait -- no -- you probably weren't were ya."

You really can't see the heads and they are polished on the ends.
