John, I've run out of adjectives for your work, simply put, you are THE MAN!!!

One question (Which I'm sure you've been asked before), how do you keep the Alclad from rubbing off while you're building and adding details?

Hi Mike........thank you for the question.........I try to plan building and adding details ahead of time.......with the thought of "Not" touching the Alclad as much as possible.......when I do handle the Alclad ,I use a soft cloth or tissue.........when I apply Alclad, I use a very little amount of Alclad..........so it is very easy to rub off when handling........but,it is also very easy to touch up any area were the Alclad has rubbed off........I just mask around the area and re-mist the Alcad over that area........I think the key to applying Alclad is to use very little so that you can get a nice chrome look and to be able to touch up rubbed off areas.........thanks

The heads are on upside down

Are you talking about the heads or the valve covers ?

My guess is, the valve covers are not upside down.

( However, I seem to recall seeing the valves covers on Hemi's installed both ways. )
