I just did this on my '64! It turned out terrific.
I used a chemical stripper on the valve covers, aircleaner, oil cap, coolant reservoir, radiator plate-cover and the stabilizer bars (which I did NOT try to remove). Then I sanded it down to bare metal and finished with heat-resistant filler primer and paint. Boy, what a difference!
I used to be ashamed to open up the hood but now it's my pride-and-joy.
