    Here's a close-up of Moriarity's Caddy showing the actual color better than the 5' shots previously posted.

    Y'all have posted pix of quite a few beautiful gold colored engines but I wanted to post one more of this Cad. Mark Moriaritys 49 331 Cadillac in 40 Ford 02.jpg

    I did a 64 Merc convertible a few years ago and they were gold from the factory. I used VHT gold, looked very close to factory.

    Just painted the tunnel ram for my 31 tudor Friday. Next I'll pull the motor and paint to match and install the tunnel ram.

    Vht burnt copper, although many call it gold...

    I don’t have an engine, but I do own a gold painted 4 bbl intake for a ‘ 56 265. Not likely to ever use it, the carburetor is too pricey for me.

    Sorry, I missed this. I started with Restoration Shops Anniversary Gold. But it has too much yellow in it and clashed with the Royal Maroon body color of my roadster, so I started adding drops of their Royal Maroon until it softened the yellow. Bill
