Re: 1957 Chevy truck re-rebuild

Kim57, what a great idea. Can you imagine the stuff you'd be thinking of building. Your talents of suspension and frame work and my kleenex box building, the sky is the limit, or as Tom Petty said.. the future's wide open.

Now that the engine is running and all the accessories such as the exhaust, belt pulleys ect, I'm ready to get back to the body work. I'd rather take the engine back out to keep all the dust and over spray getting on it.

Since it's on the engine stand I figured it would be good to get it painted. I know my choice of color isn't right for everybody but it feels good getting having a painted engine.

Using some old valve covers and beginning the taping off of ports and other places I don't want painted.


After primer and paint. Now I feel this project is starting to move forward.
