I like the color choice, but it looks like you got a little overspray on the window rubber.
Also, don't forget your air cleaner. |

| awreed. I painted the window seals on purpose. They are rough and it actually is an improvement. eventually I plan to replace them. There is some overspray on the glass in that photo, but it has been removed since that photo was taken Also I have a small scoop with an air cleaner but it doesn't fit with the fan shroud so I am getting a carb spacer for it. I'll post pics of that when it's finished |

That engine makes my purist heart go all pitter patter! It looks like an NOS engine you just uncrated. Nice work.

Fair enough. I'm a big proponent of removing all glass before any paint- you never know what's lurking underneath that seal. I hope your paint doesn't crack when you cut that glass out, though. |

Simon, that is a beauty!
Tell us about the car (or start a thread  !) |

It looks like an engine on a less than 100 mile super beetle from the late 70's that were at Barrett Jackson this year.
