Funny, how my magnesium cover is powdercoat-painted stock.



And, on the truck - I think the body matched PPG interior looks rather nice...

Especially since it matches so good with the lighting...

 

Since Chris said it twice ill post

 

^cleannnnnnnn......


annnnndddd.......
then
there
was
rice....

 

I like the red under the hood STL. All you need now is a red hat to match and a new speakerbox.

 

mmmhm, it's rice when it was a base model that had all the SVT parts except the cylinder heads, right? That was a seriously quick car.

 

Hat is on it's way

You hold the future of the speaker box LOL

Here is one that I like also from the Ohio meet some else may know who they are

 

This is tacky and stupid. Don't go this route

To much wire loom

Plus they didnt even do it right on the plug wires. Looks like a last minute addition with little time to spare

 

ugggggggh, I hate coloured wire loom. That's the worst thing you can do to 'dress up' an engine bay.

 

I did it to mine

 

The intake manifolds were rattle canned with DE 1650 Cast Coat Aluminum.
IIRC, the block is DE 1601 Ford Blue. Both are Dupli-Color "Engine Enamel" with ceramic.

 

ok you might as well close this thread now, because no engine will be posted that is superior to Bobs, unless it is another picture of Bob's engine

 

Painted engine bays look tacky IMO

 

 

Thanks for the pics!

Got me a bunch of ideas. I'll start messing with it on Tuesday.

 

No wire loom please.

 

what are your ideas?

 

Rubberized engine bay!

 

Why not LOL......

 

wow. I want one too.

 

Is that your engine?

 

well his sig does say SC Edge... Everything seems to match....

 

What to paint, I see what you guys got done. Im gonna try Duplicolors METALCAST for a starter. See how that comes out if its good I'll keep with that, if not Im just gonna use a blue engine enamel.

There is gonna be a lil wire loom, I got some narly lookin sections in there.

 

Wait until Zach's new engine is in.

 

The Metalcast will work fine as its meant for engine parts, so it'll hold up to the heat.

 

i painted my valve covers with chrome spray paint while i had them off for gasket replacement. i think it would be cool if you could get a clear polycarbonate hood to show off the motor, why put on all that chrome and effort that no one can see? i dont really have time for such stuff, but i do look under the open hoods at car shows. heres mine:
