69 Notch Barracuda - Rebirth
Decided to paint the valve covers hemi orange. Bought these a while back from a great guy (Mpls Craigslist) near my home for $25. One of those great experiences when you walk up a driveway to make a purchase, not knowing what to expect... but then you meet another mopar connection with a car in the garage that he/she is dying to show off and chat a little.
Scraped out the old gaskets, scrubbed them with degreaser and a pile of paper towels... the purple power cleaner... then the pressure washer to make sure to get all the grit out from under the second layer of metal inside.
Then I stripped all the loose paint with my wire wheel and rattle canned some self etching primer, a handful of orange coats, and a few clear enamel coats (duplicolor)
