They make nice clutches, the 1300 feels like a stock clutch, not grabby at all like some heavy duty stuff

May not paint the aluminum after all. Tossed some glass bead in the blast cabinet and it’s looks sweet.

If you like the results of glass bead you should try vapor hone. The difference is night and day!

Clear over the blasted parts would make it easier to keep clean.

Oh ya.

I got some plastic medium to try, it’s supposed to be useable to polish chrome or pistons.

I reckon that would look nice with a coat of clear to make it easier to keep clean in the future!

All our engine hardware should have been here on Monday but it’s been held in customs since Friday. Paid the duty on it Friday afternoon, still held.

Sometimes this is the name of the game when using non-US Cruiser gear.

I'd clearcoat that aluminum with clear cerakote to keep it looking bright.

Starting in on final assembly.

Not happy with finish on the valve cover so probably re-do it. The truck is staying white, I have mentioned some “bling”. Well that will be on the valve cover.

[whitey45]

I really dig the valve covers natural with a clear
