How could you paint a sbc gold? 😀

That's totally rice right there. You put a b*st*rd Chevy motor in your car because it was cheaper or whatever but you tried to make it look like an Olds motor...

The motor is the best looking part of the build, so far. If that's any indication of how this thing will be put together, I suppose it'll turn out fine.

lol, yes the motor is gold. Story goes I painted my alternator with an extra can of gold engine paint that my neighbor had, the alternator was funny I found it behind a shop half buried in the dirt, cleaned it up and painted it. I liked the color so much I went out and bought it, and at the time I wanted it olds gold. Its the best looking engine color (unless its dirty).

at least I didnt' buy these: 😛

starting to fill in the gaps and priming I'll likely leave it in primer for a while.

next is to paint those ugly front turns primer gray, some little body work on the front end & prime, then aluminum hood scoop
