Wasn't sure if you guys would want to see this or not.....but I have a question for you anyways. Maybe do an informal poll if you want to see more of this project as it progresses?
I've been searching for a color for the engine block for weeks. Nothing jumped out until this past weekend at TrueValue, and I think I found it.
What do you think?
Keep in mind that the boat is 70's-riffic, in all its BurntOrange-n-Brown glittercoat madness. And I definitely do not want black, its not on the table at all. The engine in these is the focal point, so I want to take that fact and run with it.
Here's a picture of the boat for reference to its colors.
I was certain I liked the gold valve covers before I found the block color, and I'm fairly certain I like the block color now, but do they clash or work?
Also deciding on what color for the oil pan......the intake is aluminum and there is a fair amount of polished aluminum stuff that goes back on the engine as well, along with a few miles of stainless braided hose.
