It looks great and the level of detail is fantastic. It's your Cruiser, build it for your preferences. I personally like the black valve cover. Keep up the great work!

I suppose it is more of a personal taste thing. OEM plug wires would be Yazaki and would be black and the valve cover would be natural aluminum. You have gone to extreme lengths to use OEM parts and replicating OEM finishes so those atributes jump out at me. I do curate for the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum so I have a tainted viewpoint.
Where did you get the valve cover done koxfarm? Im SOR in Perth and like the look of it.

I did it. Thanks for the compliments, but not 100% sure if it will stay like that.
I used the same engine gloss black that I used on the engine. Dunno Matey..
All good, Nice job.

If anyone is interested in spotwelds, -those tiny irregular roundish intrusions giving the body an originally industrial appearance - I can announce that all spotwelds will be restored to original look. Some are the spotwelds and some are faked (extremely tedious work) but most importantly they will be just as when it rolled out in Arakawa plant, JP
MOTOV8R

I really like the black valve cover but if you are keeping and recreating spot welds it is time to go back to a bare valve cover.

How does one "fake" a spot weld? Inquiring minds need to know.

Bell housing cover done, with another hard to find part the genuine dust seal kit installed. I think this car should be displayed on a mirror floor 
The body is coming slower than expected, hopefully next week will be ready.
