Thanks. I found a local company, Hy-Tek Coatings, that is going to do it.

Tracy,

A nice little weekend racer....I like the hood, I would have made the scoop just a bit shorter.

L88 hood would look good.

Got the finishing primer sprayed on this morning. Car is really straight with only a couple of minor flaws that need corrected. Tint supposed to be orange, turned out reddish pink... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]

Early in this thread I said I was going to use GM production aluminum heads. I didn't want to give any details about what I had until I was sure of what they were and if they could be used.
The heads were done back in the 70's by the cyl. head man himself, Lee Shepherd. A friend of mine had done some trading for them a few years ago and had brought them by the shop for me to look at. I suspected what they might be and made a trade on them.
After contacting Reher and Morrison, it was confirmed that Lee had a stamp that he used on the cyl. heads he built and this was indeed a pair of his.
Bobby Myers at Performance Automotive rebuilt the heads and gave them a clean bill of health. He said the work on the ports and chambers was cutting edge, pro stock stuff back in the day.
I can't wait to get this car done!

Cutting Edge, I`d say.....great score.

Lee Shepherd was definetly the man. He was a real driving force for that Team. They never ran as good after his death IMO.
