What color is your block?

[Ms Grumpy]

I can't remember seeing another black car with the engine block painted black. Now, I never really paid attention, but that doesn't mean that I never saw it that way.

When we started this project last year, we were only gonna do the body, but like most men (sorry guys), Grumpy wanted more power. So we started adding things onto the motor. Like Tim Taylor used to say "More Power", Grumpy wanted as much power as we could shove under the hood, and that my bank account could handle.

Along the way we decided that we did not want alot of chrome. To make a long story short, we went with aluminum valve covers, nothing polished and shiny (unless that was the only way it came). So my thinking is that if the block is black, it would maybe give the engine compartment some depth.
