Mike got my heads finished up last week and was even able to bring them down to me. A 3 hour drive, much appreciated.

We wiped them down and sprayed them with some aluminum silver engine paint. I have an awesome set of faux-luminum vortec heads. I think the paint makes them about 50 lbs lighter.

I still need to pick up a few things to finish it up but it'll be ready to swap in fairly soon. Unfortunately it'll have to wait until I have the time. Hopefully before the end of April.
