Have not done plenum and IHs yet. I'm tempted but I'd like to get motor in and car running. Time in early spring to strip plenum and paint in similar scheme.

The spots are bare for the washers and ss allen cap bolts. The Red is tending towards a purple. It has some blue in it and it is a matte or textured finish to it. It should POP like red calipers would on the car.
Besides, what do Greeks know about color?

Looks really good! I like the sort of crinkle to the finish.

Now that looks killer! Nice paint work Dom.


You must have the patience of a saint to do that masking so precisely!

Tom,

I can't take the credit for the work. I have a friend who owns a body shop and
he really likes working on hot rods, muscle, and Vettes. We used the
VHT Wrinkle for the color but put it over a textured base coat. If anyone else is interested, I can give you Chris' # here in Schaumburg, Il. His shop is
BNC Auto Body and he even took a couple of dents out of the passenger side header collector.
