Thanks guys. Here's what I started with this morning. I started with painting the harmonic balancer and then painting the valve covers, oil pan, and frame prep at the same time. It was crazy because while one coat was drying I was shooting another coat somewhere else... A couple hours of degreasing and pressure washing and the frame was ready to paint.






I painted the Harmonic Balancer with some rustoleum "Hammerd Black"






I took this picture because it really shows you how many little projects I have going at one time. I've got rims to sell on the right, the oil pan and valve covers being painted in the center, a possibly blown transmission (haven't dropped the pan let alone smelled the fluid), inner fenders (I'm picking up the welder tomorrow), etc etc etc lol




And here is the valve covers mocked up with the intake. The oil pan at this point was still drying.
