we got forced into changing the valve cover gaskets in this 67, so as long as things are off lets paint them. we started with the air cleaner. the top was under the mouse in the hood pad. so it has the paint off an showing some rust. the lettering is good as is the rest of the housing. so I'll show you a little trick that can extend your carer in auto body by 15 min or so. change that dirt air cleaner while you at it.
now gm just dunked these things in a vat of lacquer thinned with gasoline. no primer at all. got this set of detail brushes in the $1.00 tool bucket. one is stainless steel that the one we use to knock off the loose rust and scaly paint.
then we'll rub the top with a scotch pad staying on the top only. don't go over the edge.
next after washing things off we'll run a ring of tape around the edge leaving the top loose so that it extends over the top. this is the old trick you can amaze your self with
