what did you use to paint it with, is alum hard to keep paint on? I really like the look of it.

Re: 56 Chev Garage build

A little update got a 327 large journal rebuilt from a friend of mine, it had power pack heads and right side blown head gasket, I found late camel hump heads and swapped them out with new gaskets and harmonic balancer. I also started to install bed wood, going to hide bed strip bolts that is why no holes in pictures stay tuned for that one. I also found another intake that was painted orange so I smoothed it out and it is going on 327 motor. The intake that is on it I am not happy with it from China and runners hit my valve covers Sucks. Sorry about the bad pictures my camera wont stay on even with new batteries had to revert to camera phone.
