Haven't been working on the car much lately due to a dislocated elbow but starting to get back out in the garage I thought I would clean up the engine bay a bit with some Holley LS valve covers:

I just spent 15 minutes looking for your thread no luck, then I looked at my mail. An update! Nice to see somebody getting things done, certainly not me. The new valve covers look good. Nice job on the powder coat.

Thanks buddy! Glad I'm finally back out working in the garage again. Videos should be more frequent now that my arm is pretty much healed up. I love the home powder coating setup. Don't know how I ever built without it. Heres an old video of our powder coating setup:

Nice to see what can be done in a 24x24 garage. IMO that would be the smallest I would "build" a car in. Room to have the car on one side and some space to weld/fabricate if needed as well as useful equipment.

Thanks I have an oven and blast cabinet just need to hook it up. I've got the Harbor Freight gun but not sure if it's any good. Glad your back at it.

Ya I definitely would not attempt a full build in anything smaller. Especially when you have the body off and all the equipment in the garage, there isn't a ton of room left over.

Nice, but you can have that fiberglass work. lol When I attempt body work I end up standing in a pile of filler dust and it still will need work.

That's a good idea to let the primer sit for a while and if it's going to shrink better then than under a new paint job. Keep the videos coming.

Slick fix! Nice when you can have it your way. Like McDonald's or was that Burger King. Hmm?
