Project "Chihuahua" '65 Formula S Restoration "Estilo Mexicano"
I was lucky and only had one bolt hole that split open which required a brass "fill" (photos one and two). The welder hit and tapped the valve cover quite a few times when I handed it to him. Maybe he found it hard to believe it was sheet metal and not plastic?
Third photo shows a fresh coat of Ospho; when dry it will be "show time" with the VHT wrinkle-finish black. I decided not to use primer under the wrinkle paint.
