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

Painted in the Steeda on the fuse box...

 

Got pics?

 

By the way... what did you use to polish the rails and covers? The tool and the media actually...

 

I used Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish (perfect for all metals)

 

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

 

Not sure how long it will last, since I just did it....

 

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!

 

Good job. Looks fine!
What's next. Gettin rid of that prop rod with gas shocks?
Any performance upgrades planned?

 

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

 

What's next... I don't want to get to busy like "acadian" says

Performance Upgrades... Maybe

Ford Racing Decals... Yes

I think I'm ready for the car show this weekend

 

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

 

Where can you buy the Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish? Walmart maybe?
Thanks

 

Looks nice
Only downside....Ya got waaaay too much time out of the drivers seat

 

Yes...

 

Thanks!! :P
