Holy crap this is coming along great! What was your process of painting your valve cover like that? It's all glossy and attractive.

Hmmm, tons of prep sanding to the surface before painting may have helped alot? other than that man just followed dirrections on the paint cans to be honest. I actually have since stripped that cover and plan to repaint, it had a couple pin holes that was driving me nutts.

Haha sounds good then! I'm guessing Krylon would be the best way to go with painting the head then?

Painting the head? NO, use engine block paint or VHT paint

Just to have closure to this thread....


Do to finances and other needs in life....


This engine build is dead and has been sold off piece by piece.


I still have the Del Sol but don't have any plans for it other than to drive and enjoy it right now.


Thankz for all the support, I've learned a lot
