I'd like to keep my engine in one piece and if I can keep the motor in one piece I'll probably wash the car for the 3rd time ever since owning it.

Anyone else doing any under-hood air-brush work or anything fun like that? :D

I'll wash/wax at work the day before or something, but frankly, there's not much I can do to make my car look good. So, it is what it is!

Looks like the result of some typical spray can paint stripper. Does wonders.

LOL. Yes, but first I had to dust them off. Luckily for me it was only two nuts, two bolts and two wire connections. It was at the limit of my wrenching ability, but I survived. hehe

Ill be putting in a shiny clean tranny before the cookout. Everything else under the hood just needs a wash and a polish to look like new again.

I think it'll look sexay on there!!

I think I'm done doing valve covers though. Too much un-needed stress that I cause onto myself. Valve covers can be touchy, and I am really picky so when I see any flaws I kind of get upset. Glad you are happy with it though, and sorry it took so damn long.

It was well worth the wait and I would have paid more ;) It looks badass installed, but I don't have a good shot of it yet. Thanks again brandon!
