I hand polished the valve covers, fuel rail covers and the back right air conditioning lines...

Painted in the Steeda on the fuse box...

Jeff, it's looking a little busy in there IMO. Your intake manifold cover is one of my favorites though.

how long does the polish hold up for, is it like shining a copper brew tank and after using it having to re-polish after(sorry former brewmaster), do you polish after every drive or once a week

I think you have the best under hood of any 05 I've seen. I really like the intake cover. And I'm a big fan of the UPR bits.

But what I really like is the work you've done on the valve covers. Ford put some of the ugliest valve covers I've ever seen on this car. Glad to see we can make them better with a little elbow grease.

The radiator cover is a bit much for my taste, but I really like everthing else.

Like I said, your's is my favorite!

Are those ford racing decals on the valve covers? I really like the way you painted under the Steeda fuse box cover. Awesome.

Looks great. You should consider the polished caps for oil, radiator, etc.......I like the polished look. Good luck at the show.
