not a big fan of painted fan shrouds, but that one looks pretty good. The stalker front end it the **** though! I'm wanting one for my GT someday. Keep the pics coming.......

oh i know it - but unlucky part is all my friends that have mustangs jeeps sport bikes lol they all want everything painted - in the future plans for my side work - Helmet, and all the farings on a Honda CBR 600 F3 - thats gonna be awesome - can't wait to see that painted!!! I think i'm gonna do black cherry on it, it looks black at certain angles, and others it's like candy redish purple, i think it came on some 94 style impalas... its awesome -

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT I'll go get some more pics of stuff brb
 
Ok, I got them lol Here is the compressor, alternator (w/o the pulley thats in the paint booth) the chrome valve cover (the other one has JB weld on a home made baffle cuz it didn't fit over the RR's) A/C Bracket, Alt Bracket painted and cleared, plus polished tensioner (didn't clean before pic at all lol this stuff has been sitting under my box for like 2 months at least) and the chrome upper radiator hose -

I dont know if you already posted pictures...but hows the engine bay cleanup going? Did you fill all the holes up? Also, where are you doing all your work??? I wish I had accesss to a shop like that.

Nice camaro in background btw. I love those.
 
didn't fill the holes but heres the engine bay, i'd say clean up went pretttty damn nice lol - my dad owns this shop -

MVC-812S.webp


i am going to paint and clear a bunch of push pins that will sit flush in them holes, and if I don't like them, i won't use them, but since i painted the bay before i thought about closin up the holes, this is my next thought

thanks guys, you'll know it by my title of the thread, when it's the FINAL thread lol YEA - should be within the next 2-3 weeks :( beat - but DMAN, can you post that link for him? i never saved it, i just called the number on there and ordered them covers right after you gave it to me - those covers are BEAUTIFUL and they are 100% stock valve cover dimensions, had to completely cut the entire baffle ou to make them fit over my crane 1.6's, but we JB welded a semi circle over the filler neck hole, pretty much flush w/ the bottom of the top of the valve cover, then they fit, but the WILL fit over you stock heads and rockers cuz they are literally stock covers, aluminum, and chromed - very nice "bling bling bling" lol thanks dman for pointing me int hat direction
 
It's just my $.02.
I see a lot of work involved in what your doing , and a lot of nice pieces your adding, but (and it's just my opinion) I'm not sure that the fan shroud should be paint the same color as the body color because the fan shroud then becomes part of the body and that might be just a little much.
But I'll make a final decision on that when I see everything put together.
But right now :nice:
 
ALMOST STOCK, good opinion, i thogutht he same thing, however, when i bought the single peice CHROME radiator bracket that runs the length of the fan shroud, i figured, that would be a nice break up - we'll see what it looks like in the end,

And i never heard of that band lol customers car !

I think i may just get one more pic before i leave, it's like 10:00 saturday night, and i've been at the shop since like 6 messin around lol
