from another forum Wrote:Hi Guys, I use oem code 147 silver metalic or 148 would do the trick if you like it painted. i use 147 and work great on my coupe valve covers. they turn to a gold ish silver color with the engine heat after a couple of drives but still looks good. and hard to tell the difference.
i used automotive grade paint and clear cote, not spray paint cans.

see below.... but I may contact you if...............

I left it with them... they should be done in a week-10 days.....


I HOPE!!!!





more to come......

How many guessed this wasn't going to work???

I got a text 2 days later.... "I took a look at them last night and it's something I'm not able to do. It's a very long process.
I just wouldn't have the time to do so. Lots of time and work has to be put into those. I'd try a restoration shop! I'm sorry I couldn't help"

Really???

So, in the meantime.... I MAY have found someone to do the job... but as before, I'm waiting.....



sooooooooooo........ assembly begins....



the new cooling system...





next the reman TVIS assembly





followed by the intake manifold





Oh most of the hardware is new, only a few bolts were re-used (cleaned)



more to come.......
