boggerunner - good point about the exhaust heat.
team ramrod - that motor is pretty close to what mine will look like, accept only the word Toyota will be polished on my valve cover. is it yours?
I just about have everything cleaned up and painted, now its just a matter of torquing bolts. I hope to be driving it again by next weekend.
a friend of mine is a house painter by trade and wants to try spraying a car, so i thought this would be a good project for him to try. We decided to paint it a blood red color, cause I'm getting a jolly roger sticker made for the hood, and i wanted to stay with a good pirate color
