What a difference a week makes.......
The project that started out as cleaning the L shaped brackets that cover the seat arms and then snowballed into removing and cleaning the entire interior is pretty much complete. I still have to polish up the sill plates and reinstall them, but otherwise it's completed.
And since the weather was so warm I did what everyone else was doing....
...painted auto parts. Wait you mean that wasn't what everyone did?
The valve covers are coming along nicely. The cover is a bit off due to the camera and the sunlight, the actual shade is a good match to my existing block. Unfortunately I ran out of primer before finishing the air cleaner cover.
And finally another member, John A, sent me some oil caps for the valve covers. I've been working on cleaning them prior to paint. This is what they look like after soaking in baths of Evapo Rust, warm water, and degreaser and some scrubbing....
