Keep at it.. Good to see yet another old hot rod saved from a slow death of neglect ultimately to end up in the scrap pile.

You are in for a ride, $500 is just getting started! Don't ask me how I know :beer

I have had good luck painting my engines with plain old Rustoleum gloss black brush on paint.

Get the parts to be painted clean clean clean. Take your time, use a small modeling brush about 1/2" wide. Another trick that seemed to do some good was putting on 4 coats and letting each coat bake well next to the wood stove for 3 or 4 hours.

thanks for the info I think I will give that a try. hoping to start spraying some paint tomorrow
