Wow, that looks really good. In the 2nd picture, why'd you hang the VC and the paint from the ceiling?

What color from duplicolor is that? And what temperature rating?

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Edit: I know there's a how to, just wanna see how easy he thinks it is.

Actaully i hope i got the right one, it was rated at 500 degrees. and it was suppose to be cast coat iron. thought it would have come out darker. oh and on the second pic i wanted to be like michealagelo painting the sistine chapel

gasket was replaced not too long ago so didnt replace it this time. but it was cake work!! all the bolts are 10 mm so no need to keep messing around with sizes. i did it in my robe this morning! the longest part was waiting for the paint to dry. i probably will do it again cause while putting it back on i not all the paint was dry and there is a lil running over by the cam area! will post pics on soon looks sweet!!!

after i painted the valve cover i took my belt sander and just sanded over the letters to get the silver back and the mouth where you put the oil in.

hey fish where can i get that lip???

 

[vel]

this was taken 2 months ago with the stock everything

no with the new color valve cover headers and intake

think i might change that one screw replace with one from the back of the VC it looks outta place

So, what have I done to my car today? Well, she got me out of a near miss accident today. Some lady not paying attention ran a red light and made a left turn right in front of me on the way to work. I'm glad I had a guy I work with witness it from the other side of the intersection, as he confirmed I was in the right. You know after these things your memory goes a little hazy... Anyway, I had the green going straight, and she was coming the opposite way taking a left, basically cutting right in front of me. Well, I slammed on the brakes and (again, thanks to adrenaline) locked them. At that point, some of that hard earned autox instinct finally kicked in and I backed off the brakes and threw the car into a slide to avoid her. I got lucky as hell that I didn't have a Buick in my driver's side door. Talk about my early morning adrenaline shot, ugh.

Thanks man....by the way those gauges look freakin bad a$$. i salute you(usa)

 

[mx-p5]

Thank you sir. Now I just gotta figure how to wire em so they are red at night rather than amber/orange. lol

Also, was only a little under $150 for everything gauge related. $30 per gauge, $35 for oil sandwich plate, and $24 shipped for gauge pod.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

we got no gauges update, did we?

 

[mx-p5]

I think so. Didn't I?

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

(dunno) I musta missed it

 

[mx-p5]

I'm looking back and no official update page. So, i'll make one

Gauge are all in and working, still havn't wired sensor up to water temp yet though

Here's pics!!
