Engine Just about Done
bryancobb:
I would appreciate any critique/correction/coaching. I plan on it being a (sort-of) concours driven car. I have added A/C and P/S. I understand that I overdid some details, such as some bolts and the P/S pump tag not painted and all the black stuff too shiny, but go ahead and correct exerything you see and I'll correct it.

Bryan, it looks great and I'm not really qualified to offer advice but just wondering when and where you plan to debut the car?
bryancobb:
Probably local July 4th parade, Cartersville, GA.

Bryan, it looks good. Overspray on the exhaust is missing.The PS tag should be painted with the housing. I would recheck your paint details on the A/C compressor because I believe the cast iron Tecumseh compressor was painted as a assembled unit . You have the bolts and head spacer left unpainted.I have seen the spacer without much paint on it before and think it was prone to flacking off. I believe it started out painted as a unit however. I am not 100% sure but it appears from the pictures that the compressor hardware is of a generic nature instead of what came on the compressor. As you acknowledged , you over did somethings. My critique comments are the things that stand out most as not being original to me for what ever it is worth. Bob
bryancobb:
Hi Bob,
Thanks for your feedback. I'm almost positive the A/C compressor is painted black after assembly as you stated.
I am also certain that the P/S tag is also painted like the reservoir.
I need to fog some of the blue onto the manifolds near the heads.
Thanks and Happy New Year
Bryan
