If I was home I would shoot you some pictures, but I've done two intakes with it and still love the texture. Only problem with the truck is that I don't fear rain. It results in water spots if they get kicked up onto the hot intake. The explorer intake I did never touched water and looked great. I sold the car, but regret not painting the polished valve covers. Yours look great.

I did find the photo posted on here. Looks shiny from a distance, but crinkled up close.

Is that the VHT wrinkle paint that requires a three step oven cure to properly harden the paint after it's initially dry?

Are you on Instagram by any chance ? I had them made and the person who made them basically does it though Instagram . They were not cheap either but deff would be worth it for a car with killer paint like yours

So today's fun goes something like this . I got the covers all ready to go on extra line and fittings . Fiddle with the drivers side after getting it down move over to pass side and bang doesn't clear the power pipe .

Now I love these damn covers . But honestly I am just so tired of going nuts modifying that I'm not ready to cut them up and make it work .

So my new plan goes as follows . Shorten up pass side line to meet where the breather hole is and have a 10an fitting welded in it . Then use my old efi cover with no hole and weld a bung out of the front cuz the breather hole will not clear the intake if a fitting was welded in on the driver side cause of my intake .

Also replaced my bluish 6k headlights for 5k after the pass side ballast took a. Dump I bought another kit and took car of the that .

Blower drain back line kept seeping oil between the fittings I used for it even after I re did them once . So I orderd aero quip fittings for it and took care of that tonight hopefully that solves that issue as well .

The start of the valve covers . Was loving them too

then this .




New fitting will go as follows with a 180 degree fitting in it .
Other side will use the carb style and fitting will go where the round breather hole is

Those covers do look sick! Or should I say cover? But I like the other ones also. You're making me think about using that paint on mine...

Yeah I wish I could've made them work but things are way to tight in there with them . So back to the other covers with fittings added

Figure I'll mask just the area where he welds on the d/s one and crinkle it . And call it a day . Won't be able to notice esp that it is behind the ac compressor

One side easy as pie . The other not so much . Right now there's a few options . Problem is when it was welded he went to the inner most part of where I took the paint off .

In hindsight I should've went on the back of this one but its to late at this point . I ordered a hard 90 and a hard 45 adapter for that side . Also a few fittings . If that idea don't work I ordered a ac delete pulley . If and when I get a round to re installing it id deal with it then .

I crushed the fitting in my vice just to see how much it would take to make it fit . Massaging would've been ok with me but this is too much .
