Needs more red...
Atomic Autosports comes through again.
Just need to paint the Fuse Box cover and the air filter thingies and I'm pretty well set in the engine bay.
We've added more since the first picture.
I've added the brake fluid cover & fuse box cover.
I have the VR alternator cover in the mail and I'm arranging for the air filter brackets to become VR too.

Very nice!
Now you just need to cover the brake reservoir, as well as a Pipedreams alternator cover.

Ya'll know you are NOT helping here! Aargh! Too many parts to fool with!
Stainless for the alternator is nice but I'd really rather stay with the theme of the red covers.
Trying to find the brake reservoir stuff now.

The red parts that I sprayed are coming from a can purchased at Pep Boys entitled "Victory Red". Seems to work ok. The covers came from Gene, Nakid parts had a hand in there on the caps and dipstick, the two front pieces (radiator bracket, air bridge) are from Atomic Autosports.
IF I can't find the fuse box cover done by a sponsor, then that'll get hit with my spray can of VR.

OK, found the brake reservoir, got it coming to the house.
I can't find anything but stainless for the alternator and no one has the fuse box cover. I want the FBC painted (sans sticker) and not something velcro'd or glued to the original top.
