Under hood beautiful!
Back end not so much.
Why would you use what look like C5 logos on those tail light covers?

It is not Chrome, it is stainless steel.

Actually stainless steel deals with heat phenomenally. The stainless we use in fabrication (304) is also commonly used in heat exchangers because it can withstand high amounts of heat (up to 1500 F) and it does not hold onto heat. Which is why it's commonly used in heat exchangers for refrigeration.

A common misconception is that stainless steel retains heat due to its usage in cookware. But if you turn most stainless cookware upside down you'll almost always notice a copper or aluminum "core" that comes into contact with the burner. This is because stainless steel has relatively poor thermal conductivity.





Multi-core stainless steel cookware.

You can learn more about 304 stainless here:

I like the engine bay but that's no surprise

I'm thinking about buying a set of your perforated fuel rail covers next.

Ric and his staff at American car craft do some amazing work. I live near by and have watched him grow over the years. You will never be disappointed in the quality of their workmanship or the fact that they can design and make most anything. This past spring I attended their car show and the trophies that were presented were beautiful pieces of art.
