Golden carb...
Been doing some serious cleaning and painting on my carb the last couple of days. I opted for the golden color from the Olds Rocket engines! I think it blends right in there with the 50's theme.
Think it came out kinda cool, either you like it or you don't!
Kinda blurry this last pic...
More to come....

Now you gotta paint the valve cover green and make a Rocket cover to route the wires under! Just text it "1/2 Rocket" or sumsuch.
"Bottle-Rocket" maybe... go "Faux-mobile"!
I love carbs! Makes me all funny inside like when your stuck on top of the ferris wheel!

The contrasting color...
Got the engine bay painted today, and man it sure did turn out red! The contrasting red color to the matte black was just as I hoped for. Now it's time for some black details, and putting the engine back in.
Here's a few pics...

Nice work. Something to be proud of!
It's the details that always stand out.
ALWAYS take the time to clean up bits you can't get to because you'll never get the opportunity again!
