Default Restoration Pics

I'm trying to work out this posting thing. Hopefully you are looking at a before and after picture of my 1977 L-48 engine. I have many more pics to post if anyone is interested.

Thanks,

the valve covers are the same in both pics. In the bottom pic they have been sprayed with wrinkle paint. Question is "how long will they hold up?

Nice job snakey.

I just happen to have a set of those valve covers taking up some space on my shelf in the garage. Those valve covers are the first that I have seen besides mine.
