Painted my headers today. Not much else tho. I'm gonna let them dry overnight then I'll start heat curing the paint. Black paint probably would have looked better, I expected this stuff to be more metallic looking

Sweet man! Loving seeing the progress. Leaving the power steering pump on the old block? What're you doing with your old motor?
