Isn't there just one? I can't remember, it's been a year since I had mine.

Here I am at work. Shouldn't complain about being busy I guess. On a different note. Anyone have or know anybody that has a set of 3V valve covers for sale? I want to get a set to paint then sway them out with mine which I will in turn sale. Just don't want the engine sitting open for days while they are being painted.
There was a guy loaning out a set some time ago but I can't remember who it was. I think I got mine from Intruder (Gus) but I haven't seen him post in a long time. He was building some turbo monster like two years ago.

Happy Thanksgiving! I know, a day late. I wasn't home all day yesterday, was at my parents house.

I still remember having to work on Black Friday while working at the Ford dealer, it was crazy how many people were out shopping at 7am when driving to work. We also had one of those days when only half the crew was there and we had a huge workload, everyone brought their cars in for work since they had days off. We were all going nuts trying to get everything done. I think that was either 2002 or 2003.

For the most part I do. The team I am on is an unscheduled team so we sit and wait for them to break so we can fix them.

Hey Darrell that would be great. What I would do if your okay with it is get your set and paint them. Than swap them out for the ones on my car and send them back to you. If your okay with that send me a PM and I will send you an address. Thanks. Does anyone know when they powder coat valve covers are the insides also coated??? If so I don't think I would like that for fear it might flake off.
