Hi Paul, good job, it's looking great.
You had better use that die grinder on your head and clean up some of the rough spots.
Go the Baldies.

i used a soudal product called anti gravel
this comes in different colours and can be painted over within 2 hours

well todays job was to finish the 347 for the 32 coupe i brought this crate motor 6 years ago from the states
so had a mate pull it down just to be sure all was good inside
i thought it would be a good idea to have piece of mind before bolting it in for the final time
every thing inside was all good so now time to bolt up the trans and get it sitting in the chassis

Good move _ I was thinking either body colour or the slightly darker blue featured in the pinstriping - as you are probably well aware , Frod painted all their motors blue so they didn't scare the fish on the way down :ebiggrin: :ebiggrin: :ebiggrin: :ebiggrin:
