Here's a pic from a couple months ago. I have since added the red radiator cover but have not taken any pics.

It's got less than 10K miles and was well cared for when I got it, but I cleaned everything with Simple Green then applied Mothers Trim Shine.

Very nice! Love the coil relocation and the "real" valve covers (Katech?) I've thinking about the same thing (epspecially if I stay N/A) - FAST painted MY, lose the FRC's, polished/custom katech VC's, billet rails, etc.

The Valve Covers are from AntiVenom in Seffner, FL. They were polished aluminum but I painted them black and added the lettering.

OK, you can just leave this thread right now mister "My engine bay makes your's look pathetic"

I was showing the wife some pics of your ride this weekend (from a show) and she thought it was amazing (me too!).

Really alot of effort and attention to the small details Jim!

On nice! Greg does some excellent work! The lettering looks great (especially when you have the motor to back up the number )
