Re: COPO Chevelle resto progress
correct with manifolds painted, just like Tonawanda (good photos in some Corvette NCRS stuff clearly showing this) Once car is run and hot it all burns off except just up by the heads. You get the perfect look. My Butternut yenko done exactly like this 16 years ago still looks good with manifolds looking bare, natural, very light brownish/rust except engine orange showing just near the heads. You end up with the right look but car must get up to temp a couple times. We are gonna fire this car next week and I will share post burn off pictures afterwards.
Yes, Gardner chambered (correct per my build sheet to be chambered and original was still on car but cut for headers). BJ Friday night, 7-8PM I figure. I'll be one nervous SOB.

Re: COPO Chevelle resto progress
George, if you get too nervous before driving your COPO up to the block, I'll ride up there with you.

Re: COPO Chevelle resto progress
George,
The COPO looks great! What was the engine paint you used? It looks perfect, not too orange, not too red. I look forward to seeing the car at auction. Good luck. Mark
