Want to mask spark plug holes? Quarters wrapped in tape fit perfectly.

Not perfect, but perfectly fine.

Looks great! Other that the dual overhead cams, the two carburettors (as the British call them) and all the other little and large details, no one would ever know it’s not a Packard engine! I’m glad you went with the Packard Engine Green; it was a good choice.

I started out trying to brush paint it, but it looked horrible. Also the paint was so thin that it wouldn't even stick to the smooth aluminum surfaces even though they were scuffed up.
So I quickly pivoted to a small HVLP detail gun that I had and was able to lay the paint much smoother.
