Project "Chihuahua" '65 Formula S Restoration "Estilo Mexicano"

I've heard of 2 different ways of getting the aluminum trim off the valve covers. 1 is to soak the valve cover in lacquer thinner to loosen the glue, which makes them easy to gently pry off without bending them. 2 is to bolt the valve cover to the head so it can't move, and then take a length of welding wire or thin steel wire and work it back and forth from one end to the other to cut the glue. A combination of the 2 may work well also. Don't bend the fins! LOL
