[@fitzeesfabrications]

Nice detail on the firewall. The copper lines are a nice touch.

[@maniestrijdom7271]

I have watched a lot off your video's and this is now a good looking kustom rat your haveing there , sir Keep it UP 👍

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

I like your designs and creativity. From one vet to another, well done!

[@johndraper9065]

I love how you think out of the box, great job!!!

[@62_C10]

Black on the BBC... looks great! Thank you for your service too.

[@timothynewkirk2654]

For the engine: I'd say Gloss Black and Copper colored Valve Covers! Firewall looks great! ...Newk from Kentucky

[@jeffsnyder2051]

Thank YOU for your Service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, i think that big block would look cool copper!!

[@fastback1245]

Firewall looks awesome great job

[@toddhaver1143]

Thanks for your service... paint the heads aluminum block copper. Looks killer.

[@normandocaban1817]

Great videos, I keep learning from your mistakes and triumphs

[@johnbehneman1546]

SHE CAME OUT SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

[@AndysDogHouse]

1;34 wow. that was close. I had the same thing happen to me when I was taking my rear leaf spring apart. That woke me up. Sometimes less is good on the firewall. I painted my motor satin silver. I think it looks good with my flat black engine bay. I would like to thank you for all the cool tips and tricks that you share with us. Thanks for sharing your videos.👍

[@horshak1]

a tip of the hat to you sir about Memorial Day from another veteran.

[@brianpeacock5487]

Great job on the firewall. You give a lot of ideas for us building our own rat rods.

[@sincitysanta]

Thank you for your service.

[@dwaynelejeune3508]

I'm liking the black paint on engine. Later on the copper will turnish and will go together

[@craigcaggiano431]

Happy Memorial Day to you.. like the look for the Rivets, Copper Pipes and Clamps

[@marilyngraves8568]

thank you for your service! and god bless!

[@shanewright6958]

The Firewall turned out sweet. Great job and video 👍👍🇨🇱

[@boneal4942]

Looks awesome, the copper and raw firewall metal look great together. I’m thinking black for the motor, that way it won’t steal the show from the remaining componentry. But you have a good eye for design, I’m sure it will be sick either way🤘

[@livingthrulimits9854]

Great results on the fire wall, the copper pipe was the topper. The engine with that combination would look good in flat black. If you have brass expansion plugs leave them unpainted. I think that would really set things off. Just a thought. Car looks great!

[@johnbehneman1546]

A TOTALLY AWSOME BUILD!!!!

[@billautomaton5998]

A Combination of Raw material, Black, and Copper would set that engine off. Build is looking Awesome...

[@freefreedom9830]

I’m really loving the copper, I think using some copper inside the cab would tie it all together. The color of the engine should stand out kinda like a Diamond on the ring.

[@GT.Bugger]

Looks great. I think a flat black in engine would look good and with the copper and chrome it'd work well together.

[@mortenhenningsen940]

Love the copper pipes on firewall. Engine:copper/rootbeer flake. Or å Green tone,like oxidiced copper and copper valvecovers and copper piping.also some brass details are cool.

[@johnbehneman1546]

GREAT VIDEO AND EDUCATION. THANKS FOR SHARING.

[@aftershock2222]

I’m looking forward to work on the 454. Thank you for your service.

[@shotsrodder]

God Bless all who made the ultimate sacrifice

[@johnginn91]

Love your work. Can’t wait to see that in person.

[@ricklord7144]

Love your fab work... From Vet to Vet... Go black on the block! Ceramic low gloss! The chrome and copper should pop with that! Just my thoughts!

[@trentdayton113]

Great idea on the copper tubing for wiring. I would not have thought of that. Looks cool. Paint the engine Cobalt blue; goes good with copper and would be out of the norm and with copper coloured valve covers (Timothy Newkirk comment below) would be sweet.

[@johnbehneman1546]

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@rodneyclements6190]

Burnt Orange on the engine color brother! Looks great but subtle with rust and copper and all that you have going on. Just my humble opinion. Firewall turned out great!!!

[@mikecrice3646]

You might consider a faux oil rubbed bronze paint finish. It involves using a metallic copper paint highlights on an oil rubbed bronze base coat. This paint process give the engine that steampunk look.

[@patrickchristie82]

I second black, raw metal and copper accents. Maybe custom BBG copper letters riveted on the valve covers.

[@johnbehneman1546]

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL.

[@tomthompson7070]

love the copper - poor mans chrome - black engine/copper accents

[@theSword-]

Dude. Use the "Hammered copper" paint. I did my house front door in it, and it kicks ass. It fits well with the steampunk theme.

[@1936Studebaker]

If you seam sealed the the over lapped panels before riveting they wouldn't have rattled.Very nice work though, enjoying the series,Engine color : Platinum.

[@joell439]

👍😎👍 - paint the motor black

[@hankpugh4980]

satin gun metal gray on the long block, copper & gloss black on the valve covers. the blower will look good.

[@johnbehneman1546]

HAPPY RAT ROD MONDAY!!!!

[@bjlsbjls]

I just painted a 402 a gun metal grey with all black trim...I think that would look good in that hole too..

[@johnbehneman1546]

PLEASE CONTINUE TO SHARE YOUR TRUTH.

[@davidoberkirch644]

Hotrod Dave here,paint it black,man!

[@DURRIESVISION]

Copper always gives a great look.... Bit of "steam punk" there. Awesome from the 🇦🇺 "land down under" 🇦🇺...

[@countryboyscooter3402]

Hammered copper paint!

[@scrapperdscrapperj3948]

I think a distressed copper color on the engine would look good.

[@shotsrodder]

Looks cool 😎hope you put a string in the pipes to pull the wires in 🤔 or that is going to be a real pain 🤢Good luck

[@kurtludwig4783]

Enjoy your videos Black is my choice for engine. Copper would be to much and orange wouldn’t get the effect I think you want on chrome intake

[@johnbehneman1546]

I LOVE MY RAT ROD FAMILY!!!!

[@magellantravel424]

Не понимаю ни слова ,но смотрю все твои видео!

[@chuckstith838]

Yes me too. Whatever he said.

[@sincitysanta]

The 454 I just dropped into the dually, I painted orange.

[@jessecarst2093]

Rust colored and clear coat ( if there's a high temp clear ).

[@glennshotrodgarage]

i was thinking the same thing maybe some worn copper looking valve covers ! thanks for your service man !

[@listeningsteve1324]

I mistakenly thought that firewalls were installed to delay a fire from getting into the passenger compartment and that any holes in it had to be via tight fitting grommets. I also thought they had to be made from steel or similar material but apparently all this only applies to aircraft or race cars.

[@jeffmorton8317]

Engine either Black or pressure wash it and leave the heads and block "patina" and everything that bolts on valve overs, oil pan, intake, etc....make it look nice and new

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Satin or Mat black for the engine. Gloss black is too shiny in relation to the rest of the car. Another viewer suggested copper colored valve covers which I think is a good idea as it will go with the copper wire way you installed.

[@40mick]

Dude, cleaver how you used the Copper pipe to hide the wires. Nice execution. Also, keeping the firewall simple. Flames etc.......Distracts from the look.

[@johnbehneman1546]

SUGGESTION: MORE RAT ROD MERCHANDISE!!!!

[@GloriaBaker-h8m]

improvise,adapt and overcome

[@xtechx2007]

Gloss black engine!

[@BullgearRCvideos]

Black engine with copper highlights here and there should do ya

[@danbiermann9230]

paint the motor black and add copper fuel lines its a nice contrast

[@fuddwacker4803]

Copper for sure

[@garrettwhite436]

semi glass Black with flat or gloss copper accents

[@benniecantrell6901]

GOLD

[@georgegooding57]

Are you going to put a coating on the copper to keep it from corroding?

[@whitaker2107]

looks really cool but the 2nd pipe looks like its on a angle

[@timsager6153]

Are you insulating behind the firewall?

[@jermainerobinson5594]

Copper for that badass 454

[@Woodden]

Go with the copper

[@davelowell3008]

Black

[@markgriffin9699]

👍👍

[@terrykelsay6260]

if it was me .i would go orange

[@benmac6485]

Leave the motor dirty!!!

[@danmay9728]

Orange

[@morgansword]

I came home but the quality of home is less than likable.I like so far most of the build, your on perfection where I round off to the nearest number thing... that said, I think that you have a color that the rig will wind up being so why not color match... just a idea... who knows, maybe it is going to be orange when through... orange is good if done nice

[@shfr1747]

Paint engine WHITE with BKACK accents where you want! Will suck up the chrome and amplify the copper!

[@shawnwoodfill8825]

Paint black

[@raynyhus2026]

Copper

[@lash6427]

Don't even paint the motor leave it looking busted and rough

[@craigclemans966]

Chevy engine is always Orange for me.

[@constable9793]

Sorry but "rat rod" just means too lazy to sand, too lazy to paint.
