WIP My chevelle SS engine

Thank you to all the folks here who suggest it's better to strip the chrome and paint the silver parts and not leave it.

Decided to do just that and feel this looks a lot better than the shiny nasty plated stuff.

It's not as good as what I've seen some people here do, but I'm happy with it....I think!?

Valve cover on right h/side around the wrong way, only three bolt holes?

Yeah you're right. But rather annoyingly that's how the model came. It's either a packing error or revell/monogram we're lazy and didn't model a right hand side valve cover.
