Very nice. I see that the rest of your polished parts are showing up better in these pics. Why don't you take a few more of the front of the engine and show off the whole package?

Awwww.

Suck it up man, I've been shot at many times here...


That last thread was nothing compared to the pot-shots people take at you in the forced induction section. (I think you've been treated pretty harshly, which not all of it is your fault)

You're representing a company that has some issues right now.... even though this is your personal car and you're an employee working hourly people still think it's their money that is being spent on your toy instead of making their turbo kits.

You have to admit that starting a thread "Putting my polisher's kids through college" at the height of anger towards the company that is plastered on your title was a poor choice. Sorry to say, but some of the criticism in the last thread was deserved by your shabby judgement. You could have shown your parts, but not the way you did, and also taking photos that obviously took away from the overall quality of the work wasn't the best approach eigther.

Just my $.02... I like how your engine bay is shaping up. Very thoughtful and original I have to admit. Can't wait to see more in the future. ~Joshua

Am I the only one that read the title and thought of see-through valve covers? That would be cool though right!

Back in the early 90's, I knew a guy who had a tricked out 34' Ford that had a custom set of valve covers with lexan windows recessed into the tops of them. You could see the rockers working when the engine was running. The problem was, they didn't last too long because the heat of the engine turned the lexan cloudy. They were definitely cool though.

There's a guy with a big cat boat with twin big blocks running see-through valve covers. It looks amazing, I guess it helps that each motor is upwards of 1500HP. I'll see if I can find his website, he's got a video of the engine running as well.

Those blue valve covers look the *****!

Thunder Racing is where I got mine. Included Taylor 10.4 mm plug wires. Chrome and Performance(new sponsor) also makes the relocation kit, but I BELEIVE you have to buy your own wires. May want to verify that though.

The coil relo-kits from Thunder Racing or my company Chrome & Performance is made for f-bodies. It relocates them under the cowl of an f-body which doesn't exist on the Corvette.

Not sure who makes one for Corvettes. You can always have your coil brackets chromed... that would make it better. ~Joshua
