WOW!

Impressive.

 

Nice, alot of quality time spent there.

 

Hey Hireman, any advice on removing the pony? It seems to fit in there pretty tight and looks tough to mask. I'd hate to break it, but I am wanting to paint the cover the same color as my valve covers and want to keep the pony chrome. The fins and lettering should be easier to re-paint. Help?

 

It really comes off easy, at least this one did. Its held on with some type of sticky foam...not 2 sided tape ( which I would use to put it back on with). I just used a small screwdriver to get the head up and peeled it up. Its also a very strange part......it is pressed out of aluminum sheet then they fill the back of the cavity with some sort of clear plastic material the put on the sticky foam...that pony probably cost less than .20 to make...LOL. If it acts like it doesnt want to come off easy try putting some water around it and let it soak in....when I wet sanded my cover what was left of the foam got wet and it really peeled off easy then.

 

Thanks Hireman. You give me the confidence to forge ahead.

 

OK, this makes me want to get back on the SHOW mods. I was gonna spend my next round of mod money on GO, but WOOOOOOOWWWWW!!! I'm thinking Perf White base with blue flames/pony. Match the cam covers - bam!!

 

Ok, the pony did come off without damage, but not as easily as I had hoped. I used dental floss and a very small screwdriver, but having the feet already lifted helped some. The rubbery glue is strong as an ox and difficult to remove. Water didn't help, and "Goo Gone" and "Oops!" weren't that great, either. I did, however, find out why my pony was kicking up his heels. The clear filler poured into the back of the stamped aluminum wasn't level. It was a little concave at the top, and bulged out at the feet. Now I'll just sand or cut that down so the whole horse lies flush into the recess. I'm going to try to do the fins and lettering in aluminum vinyl. I'll post pics when I get done.

Edit: Forget the aluminum vinyl. The sheet it came in was a perfect size, but had the grain going the wrong way, so the brushed effect would go across the fins, not along them. Duplicolor Chrome paint applied with a foam brush did almost as well.
