    Baby Katana Restoration and Minor Customization Need Opinions

    What do you think? Chevy Orange paint is a perfect match! Got chrome pod filters on the way. Should i paint the valve cover black? What about the carb tops and maybe float bowls? i have black and orange engine paint. what would look good?

                          nope. not doing anything major to it. just painted the bolts, gonna do engine gaskets and stuff while its apart. probably find some turn signals. thats about it. oh and pod filters.
