Very nice guys!
I'm rebuilding my engine in my '85 right now. My engine bay is stripped from the firewall forward. I just repainted the frame/firewall and I'm trying to decide what to do with the engine (mainly intake/valve covers). My car is Black (repainting the whole thing right now) so I am looking for ideas. I was thinking either red or yellow, just wanted to see some examples to make sure it's not too much color under the hood.
Looks great so far, keep the pic's coming!

Agent 86, thansk for the compliments 
I took a flat SR lid and machined milled slots in it @ .060 (1/16th) deep with a ledge around the perimiter.
I sent the lid out for polish then had a 2nd guy mask the polished part, and powder coat everything but the high spots.
I cna email you the guys info that did the powder coat and polish if you like and I could machine the lid for you.
