Cool New valve covers

Before you ask about the color, it's an Eagle color we did up for some of our displays and what not. I love it, and think it is the perfect contrast!

More to come in the next few weeks just waiting on all my parts to come on

Sweet! I like the look but it would probably look better in my Mustang!

Mine continued to get worse and worse, I couldn't stand it! The problem with paint is with what these are made out of ( contains a lot of magnesium if I remember correct ) the paint won't last very long. Powder coating is cheap enough if you have someone local, I paid less then $50 for these to be done!

Thanks Doug. When you decide you want some I'll drop my stockers off at the PC's!

Funny you should ask, just finished re-running my fuel line I'll get some better pictures outside of my garage, for some reason my camera has a hard time focusing with the light!

The valve covers look good, but I really like your fuel rails too.

I had my valve covers epoxy coated by HardKore Metal Finishing and they came out great. They have a set of 05-06 valve covers already polished in the shop also. I even had my brakes epoxy coated and they still look good after +8 months.

I had actually talked to you about getting a set done, the cost just wasn't practical for me though. I spent less than $50 on those and didn't have to ship them to and from. Just simplified things for me!

Them polished covers = hard work. I have a set of polished covers in my garage. I got chrome ones installed.

Thanks man! Should have a bunch more stuff taken care of by the weekend, just waiting on another part so I can get it all to the Powder coater.

Here are a few more shots I got this weekend outside of the garage:
