You barely even see the engine block once its installed. Put the crazy paint job on the valve cover and intake manifold.

small teaser update.. weather has been crappy all weekend so didnt get much done..

I watch alot of car shows and they all say its all in the details.. up till now I didnt believe that alot (to some point I did) untill now..

here is the pre detailed VC.

Image

here it is with some detail work.. yes its not the best but im also not a painter. plus with only 1 eye its harder to judge distance with a small brush..

Image


still need to put a few more coats of clear on it (after I try to fix the plug covers saggyness lol)

head and intake ...possibly the block will be done by the weekend I hope.


Steve

lol I saw some camo paint.. and he is in the military.. but if I went that route I would do the whole engine bay... inner fender wells.. fire wall.. EVERY single piece on the engine... I think that would have been just a tad too much tho lol.

yes I am in the military but after seeing this digital print for some time you get tired of it so thats a big no for the camo paint job, actually the crazy color skeem is cool and unique in a way I guess it really gives it the WTF factor
