Kitty came up with a great color idea for the valve cover. She said gold would pop against the green. I believe she is right. Soon as I get the pushrods in and the valves adjusted, I'll stick the valve cover on. Whoever I bought it from said it was in much better shape than it was. It's pitted badly. Also, one of the bolt holes was split but I migged it up. After a couple of thick coats with filler primer, it looks ok. They may well may not have known, because old paint and dirt can hide a lot. I don't even remember who I got it from. Might not have been anyone here. I have a ribbed valve cover and that's what I wanted so it works.

Kitty was right, as usual. The gold looks good on the green. I got the lifters, pushrods and rocker assembly on. Will get the valves adjusted tomorrow and bolt the valve cover down.
