Hey guys, I usually frequent the 80-96 forum more, but I thought I had better start working on the ol' '53. Anyhow, I need to know the original colors, for a 1953 Cost Clipper Six engine. I just got done repainting the valve cover a gloss black. I was noticing though, the rest of the block, almost looks red...
Was the black I saw, when I was sanding the cover, only the primer, was the cover supposed to be red? If you have the time, maybe you could give me the colors, for all of the parts...

Thanks in advance,

2nd Lt. Christopher J. Salisbury
