Shell Valley build
The first coat of paint has been sprayed in the engine compartment. After it drys, it will be sanded and a second coat applied. I may have to do 3 or 4 coats to get it where I'm satisfied.

The engine is back in the frame (hopefully for the last time), and the headers have been installed.

Shell Valley build
Here's the front of the car after we removed the radiator. There was a problem with some work that the radiator shop did and the driver's side tank leaked like a sieve. The good news is that the engine fired and we were able to time it.
