Special CPA Project!

My CPA (Cadillac Parts Apprentice) is taking on a special project today. I had a 63/64 Cadillac valve cover Cadmium plated and have Cheryl painting the Cadillac script with Cadillac Blue engine paint. Something for the office - ya know!

Nice!  You should always start apprentices out with sweeping floors and cleaning parts. They have to prove their worth before being entrusted with good knowledge.

Oh, Cheryl is definitely an Advanced apprentice and has earned her stripes to be called a journey-woman. She's been doing the Cadillac thing for me since the beginning but her full time job got in the way. Now that she is retired she can help me out with the parts sorting, cleaning, etc. 

Back to the valve cover I had taken a valve cover that was a bit rough and ground off the wire tabs and was going to throw some paint on it and outline the Cadillac Script with Cadillac Blue paint and hang on the wall. With the large batch of items going to the Cadmium platers, for kicks & grins, I thought I would throw the valve cover in... only adds a couple bucks to cost.   The cool thing about Cadmium is you have the mosaic of colors with the golds, yellows, oranges, silvers, etc in the mix. Now that I have this "rough" valve cover done and the script painted I think I would like to have a nice smooth one done.

Nonetheless this one will be good to hang up on the wall in the garage or office ... should be a good conversation piece. Here is what it looks like finished.
