Default Progress is so gratifying

Been working on this thing a few days after work. Some time on weekends..

Waiting for parts, dropping bolts, unexpected things.. powdercoater took a day longer, machine shop took more than the promised 3 days...

In the end I have very little left.

Part of me wants the opportunity to paint my valve covers but a much larger part of me wants it to just stay the way it is.

That looks great

Yes it is! Couldn't help it. Powder coater is literally a 5 minute walk from where I work, and he cut me a killer deal, $110 to blast and powdercoated the lower, plenum, surge tank, and both rockers covers. Only real shame is we all know it's gonna leak like crazy again and make a huge mess...lol

Thanks guys!

Engine looks great! When mine isn't my daily driver I will do the same.
