Looks great - enjoying this thread....and the car.

Question for the group (not being picky - just trying to learn) about the water pump bolts not being painted orange. I always assumed the water pump was on the block when painted, I've seen several instances now on restorations where the pump bolts are not painted. Is there a reason for them not being painted engine color? TIA

Yes, probably should be painted. I didn't have the correct bolts until after the engine was in... Part of the added stress of getting parts to Canada (add a week for shipping and a Saturday to run to the border)
