Thanks HKC, Probably got about 18 hours of labor into it, took about 4 hours to cut the fin on that is suppose to hold the timing cover on, but sense i dont rock the timing cover, there is no need, so i cut it off, then i degreased, degreased, degreased, and washed it till my hands bled. Then i primed it with Dupli color adhesion promoter, about 4 thin coats, and one heavy, then baked it at 200 degress for 30 minutes, then on with the color, I used Vht Metalic Gold, did 6 thin coats, one heavy coat, and baked it for another 30 minutes and 200 degress, and then after it was dry, and hot, I began to put on rustolem cleat enamel to protect for oil and finger prints, has 8 thin coats of clear, and then a final bake at 30 minutes at 200 degress, then shut off the oven and left it in the oven till morning.
I have my stock valve cover if some wants it, i can paint it and ship it to someone for a cost, Pm me if intrested.

New front end look, and engine bay look, Just the Painted Vavle cover made it look a million times cleaner! The lights will blend well with my new carbon hood!

Yea, I am debating doing a wire tuck, but this really isnt a show car, more of a DDable Drag/Autocross car! Yet, i do understand that it would make it look 100 times cleaner!
