New poll: What would you do and why?
Gentlemen, thank you all for the very kind offers to kick in but it's really not necessary at all. I haven't been on FABO much lately but that doesn't mean I haven't been working << wink >>.
The valve covers and custom billet brackets have a new home as a result of ebay (and the buyer followed it up by commissioning a matching Cal Customs air cleaner assembly later). The Port-O-Sonic is now on my own hot rod because the best offer I got was $100.
All that's left is the custom 2-tone timing cover in
Hemi Orange and
Silk Satin Black.
On large jobs that like one I do each step on each part before moving forward with the next step. Though I keep track of hours on a per-step basis (i.e., 'blasting - 1.8 hrs.,' 'parts cleaning - .30 hrs., etc.), I don't break down the specific labor on a particular part. I have no idea how many hours the timing cover actually has in it on its own, especially since I didn't keep track of the
Hemi Orange rework I did in an effort to get rid of it.
MoparMarks, it wasn't really
yellow despite how it looked in that picture up there. THIS is what it really looked like, and it's a dead-on ringer for Caterpillar Gold. The powder name is
Corsair Gold and the paint sample I received for the color match is right behind it.
