><br>>$$$$$$ That sounds like my kinda Paint and Body Man.<br>><br>> <br>><br>>Also Plan to pull the Davis CUP radiator out and replace it with Fluidyne 2-pass unit that Quella has that will 'fit' with my all-most stock steel hood.<br>
><br>>$$$$$$ I am confused. I thought that the Davis radiator had been faultless and that it fit. So, you’re going to a different hood or you expect better cooling out of the Fluidyne unit??<br>><br>> <br>
><br>> <br>><br>>Would also like to find a steel decklid so if you know of anyone who has one let me know....Yea I will trade straight across...their decklid for my race radiator ;-)<br>><br>>$$$$$$ I have seen lots of decklids hanging from the walls of Dennis Quella’s shop. Maybe he would make a deal?<br>
><br>> <br>><br>> <br>><br>>On wheels and airfilters and valve covers I am thinking about anodizing....Irish says they scratch says they scratch easily but so do my polished wheels.... Okay most of that is bullsheeit but the anodizing isn't so let me know what ya think...yea don't hold back JB ;-)<br>
><br>>$$$$$$ My preference is for coatings or anodizing over powder painting. My aluminum valve covers are powder painted and they’ve held up well The other engine parts besides the block are coated with aluminized ceramic appearance coating. I have no experience with anodizing, but I can see where is would likely scratch easily. I do not know how chemical resistant it is nor what it’s long term durability would be.<br>

<span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">On wheels and airfilters and valve covers I am thinking about anodizing....Irish says they scratch says they scratch easily but so do my polished wheels.... Okay most of that is bullsheeit but the anodizing isn't so let me know what ya think...yea don't hold back JB ;-)</span><span style><u></u><u></u></span></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">$$$$$$ My preference is for coatings or anodizing over powder painting. My aluminum valve covers are powder painted and they’ve held up well The other engine parts besides the block are coated with aluminized ceramic appearance coating. I have no experience with anodizing, but I can see where is would likely scratch easily. I do not know how chemical resistant it is nor what it’s long term durability would be.</span><span style><u></u><u></u></span></p>
