Default PROJECT RETRO got a little more bling today!

Got my valve covers done to match with everything else. Lots of work, but the result was pretty good:





Also installing the Wolfecraft 6-point today.

Sawzall man! My freakin favorite tool of all time Hacked them off, then sanded everything down with the old handy palm sander, then used my next favorite thing (JB Weld) to fill in the imperfections.

You might also notice that the little raised rings around the bolt holes are sanded flush to the covers. Just made it easier to get everything nice and smooth.

You did a great job man. Is your palm sander electric or pneumatic?
