Default Updated Engine Bay Pics

I finally finished painting and installing all the underhood items I plan to paint along with my alternator cover. I painted everything myself but my fuel rail covers using Duplicolor Victory Red paint and clear coat.

In addition to the GM painted fuel rail covers I have a battery cover, custom caps and a custom alternator cover from Ed at Pipedreams, a fuse box cover and brake fluid/master cylinder cover from Eddie at TKO Performance and a surge tank cover and radiator shroud from Greg at Kewl Auto. Thanks to all of them for making these parts available to the Corvette owner.

Here are the pics. They were taken in my garage since it was raining outside today. I wish I had a little more light, but at least you can see what I have been working on.





Pipedreams Battery Cover


Pipedreams Custom Alternator Cover


TKO Performance Brake Fluid/Booster Cover and Pipedreams Caps


Kewl Auto Surge Tank Cover




TKO Performance Fuse Box Cover
