It's usually not 'you' that you have to worry about.....
I did the bumpers on my 68 the way you're doing them now & then PC'd them satin black. One day after work, a co-worker was trying to be funny & barely.... barely.... tapped their rubber cushioned bumper to mine as a joke. It was enough of a tap (because of the vehicle weights) that the spots where the bolts were welded up were now all clearly visible even though it didn't actually harm anything.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
