Since Obamacare is or is it not affordable.....that is the question. Guess it MUST be affordable since the title change  I am thinking as a minimum.......clean the top end as Jim (QB93Z) did..... See Engine cleaning Jim's restoration looks every bit as good as a paint or powder coat job and much more natural

Re: To Re-Finish or Not to Re-Finish?
Bob,
Marc did mine in August. My car is mostly stock, in fact just top flighted even with a painted engine. I love it, and still have a top flight car to sell down the road. If you want, stop over and take a long some time.

Re: To Re-Finish or Not to Re-Finish?
I would call that COOL
I see you have eliminated TB coolant, still have your secondaries, and you have installed a nice silver Oil Catch Can  (Now you know where I got the idea for my Oil Catch Can and that red stripe down the middle of the Plenum) Very nice....but get some SS lines for that Oil Catch Can and run the rear SS line through the bottom of the Brake Master Cylinder lines for Super Cool Quote:
