Well due to a Government shutdow I have plenty of free time as of today...So I stopped by the Powder coater and picked up my Ceramic coated headers, nothing like adding some more shiny stuff to the motor. I think I'll have them Ceramic coat my oil pan so everything sorta matches. I also worked on the 2" Valve Covers spacers so I can get them to eventually fit perfect to the valve cover, the Drivers side is almost done the passenger side isn't even started.

I finally had a chance to make the final version of the Radiator support cove this one is made out of .050" steel but I wont be able to test fit it untill next week then I'll weld the middle together and after some minor body work it will be ready for paint. Thanks for looking ...Enjoy









I also had a chance to make some more progress on the Valve Covers. I bonded the 2" spacer to the cover and sanded the two together to get a perfect fit, the thin line you see is the aluminum epoxy between the two pieces and you can't feel the line when you run your finger over it so when I paint them it will look like a 1 piece 5 1/4" Valve Cover. I also had a chance to make a set of Adjustable Aluminum front fender strut rods to replace the stamped steel factory ones (Last Pic).
