Intake and valve covers are going to stay the way they are now. Like this:

Once the accs get mounted, you won't hardly even be able to see the block from the top. So there will only be hints of red peeking out which will be perfect. And as far as the chipping/peeling/flaking of my paint jobs.....I could likely count on one hand anytime I have had any of those problems, and I paint everything I can get my hands on. Its like a disease with me
Also, I drive my car maybe 1K a year, so getting dusty is more of a worry then rock chips

Thunder Jam was a major bust! 2 jet dragsters, 1 jet semi, the Cool Bus, 4 jr dragsters (those were faster than a lot of the cars on Tech), 4 beat the heat cars and about 12 true street cars.
Two of the jr dragster were running in the 7.4's at almost 90. My best is 7.23@97.

Prescott had a bad *** outlaw race tonight. They usually have bracket or index racing at the Thunder Jam. Wonder why not this year?
Anyway...drove my step dads 70' Camaro with a 383 and put it on the bumper tonight, I'll have a picture and videos tomorrow. It was a fun and wild ride. 1.34 60ft on those rear 28x10.5s sure are different!

Here's the only pictures I have, but the video my mom got was crap since she was more scared than me! I bet Paul got a good video that I can get tomorrow though.
Car came up great like it did every pass I looked towards the tree to see if it was starting to come down and it was still going up, went to shift into 2nd to bring it down and the damn thing just kept going up! It wiggled a little to the left and really had no choice but to ease out of the gas and sure enough it slapped the member and the oil pan drain plug. Other than that everything was good.

I got video of two runs of that Camaro or one that looks just like it, and a bunch of others... Trying to get my video editing software working right, so I can splice the videos together. I showed up at like 8pm or so, and hung out mostly by the bleachers next to the burnout box. I'm dissapointed we can't stand next to the concrete barriers anymore, would have made for good footage.

These videos are taking forever to upload, depending on the sizes taking anywhere between 30-60min per video, and then processing -_-
Here is what's up so far... Be sure to watch in 1080p HD
