Took the valves out of the coolant pipes to do a final paint coat and then clear them. Had one minor correction with the paint to be made, so I re sprayed them both, they came out good. Getting ready for the clear...
Also some valve info if anyone has an interest...
And made some minor clear passes on the plenum as I had one imperfection that really bothered me. You would be hard pressed to find it now...

final paint coat...

bleeder valve removed...uses a 1/2" wrench to install and a 5/8" wrench to open and close the bleeder....and some rags when bleeding the system...



back to the open paint booth for more clear...

Nice work!

I might have missed it in the thread but where did get the valves and who makes them? They look to be nicer than most.

Thank you Carter, and a good part of that "Looks great!" came from the work you completed.....

I now have some options with the bolts from seeing them on another member's LT5. I now have both the SS replacement bolts, which I can use or the 12pt ARP bolts shown.....
Let's see, I cam mix and match, or do one side one way and the other another way!!! Either way all of them whichever one, will dress up the engine, at least the top half of the engine this season.....lol

Thanks Glen, still have to work on the TB. Going to try to get that done this week. Still have some minor items to address under the plenum before I can put it back on.
Need to go out to the 74 at least 3 days this week. Have to make progress on that if I want to get it running by the Fall....
