Valve cover looks sweet

keep up the work!

also what exhaust is that, I didn't see you mention a brand.

 

Looking good. I like that shade of blue.

 

thanks, not sure on the exhaust. It came with the car when I bought it and he guy didnt remember what brand. I'm guesing its something cheap, but imo its sounds pretty good. Eventually it will get swapped out for either a magnaflow or ws2. In the next month or so im going to remove the exhaust and sand it down and paint it flat black. There is some lettering on it but its too dirty to read + im laying on my back lol.


also painted the oil cap flat black(looks sick in person) and the spark plug wire holder thingy flat black(again looks really good). Im thinking about painting the bolts flat black too, but im not sure prolly just going to match them with the VC.

 

washed and waxed the car today. Still didnt really help my crappy paint. Anyways also detailed the engine bay today in prep for the valve cover.

 

looks good. Good job on the resto project.

 

Thanks, today I have been thinking about painting the car flat black instead of redoing the stock color. jpnolan did you just sand, prime, and paint your car? And how has it held up to the weather? This option would be way cheaper for me as its much easier to paint a car flat black then any color with gloss and I would then be able to do the whole project myself. Also I just got hooked up with a professional paint gun.

 

ok so I maganged to get the new VC on today. But i also managed to *** it up. The top right bolt snapped inside the hole and i dont think it was from me over tightening because it snapped before the top of the thread. =( So me and my buddy are drilling it out tomorrow. grrrr hate when things go wrong lol. Here is a quick pic tho of it installed on the car, btw it was the last freaking bolt too lol. hmmm maybe its because i didnt tighten in the correct order because I just remembered i forgot to do that. D@mn!!!

 

Fail?

 

ninja post ftw hehe

 

good work!
