Coolest Valve Cover?

[ScottySbk]

i got this one on my car now. I sand blasted it then painted it with RustOleum met. silver, and the stripes are sprayed with Krylon. I used a DA to sand the ribs and BMW. Sorry for the huge pictures but i uploaded them awhile back and didn't feel like resizeing them and uploading again.

Did you primer and clear coat as well? Would you happen to have a link to the paint? I want this exact finish, looks great.

Alright, not BMW, it's Ford... But here's what I did to the VC on my 65 with a 4.9 I6:

Forgive the shitty cellphone pic...


before a few touch-ups over the blue overspray

Was this before he switched to the stock airbox? And before he plugged in the coolant temp sensor wiring?

Fuck me, that's it! Thank you so much for finding that!

The RD one is cool, but it's a kit that includes the coil cover and the injector rail/coil harness cover, which I'm not going to be using, I like the way it looks better without it, like so:

Ibarra's engine bay, looked familiar!

My newest build...

yeah, there's a bunch of other stuff you'd have to learn first. a write up for each part would fill a book that others can and have written much better than I ever could.

ohhh.

a wite up of what, exactly? lol

there's an M50 engine harness hiding in there too.

the ignition wiring but nevermind. I didnt know you were running a standalone. kinda new to e30s and my first time seeing a COP setup.

^I see. Wheres the power come from? A write up would be cool if there's one floating around somwhere.

M20 w/equal length headers and COP.

okay, so you can't really see the valve cover.. but I still think it looks cool ;)


plus it was a hell of a lot of work..

Whats going on here?

[Jand3rson]

But it would be fake, and I HATE fake CF. I have something fun planned for the metal valve cover, and the CF coil cover will be the perfect compliment to it.

Yeah, when I clean up my m50 engine bay next spring, i want to do the rail/coil harness cover delete plus something fun with the valve cover. the CF one is too spendy for me. hell, you could buy a sheet of CF vinyl and drape it over the original cover for cheap, and I bet it would be hard to tell the difference.

Janderson, looking for an m50 version, or s50? (I'm not familiar with what models had the oil cap in what locations)

m50:
