haha, close enough.

But ya dude, your setup looks pretty sick!

I was thinking about getting powder coated valve covers, but my car isnt really gonna be a show car, just something to drive around and enjoy.

Your setup should be pretty close to being done now huh?

If your ever out in my neck of the woods hit me up and we can go reak some havoc.

Your running a power glide right? or was it a 4l80e?

It's the glide... I think Kyle is about done with the other valve covers he's been working on, polishing them himself. Gonna have to move the coil packs and show them off a little too.

Those are a old set of valve covers that i painted rattle can black. I have a set here at the house that i cut all the stands for the coilpacks off and i have sanded down and in the process of polishing.

Getting close to being done. i cant wait... should be pretty

Yes i am running a Rossler Powerglide.
