Talking Show us your cam cover!

I've painted my cam cover before, but I've seen some pretty spiffy powder coat 'n polish jobs out there. Let's see 'em!

Brian,
I suggest you stop showing everyone those pictures. Your next "chapter" is going to be the one where your car is stolen

j/k . .looks sweet. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

You figure out all that, you can have it. I have full coverage, but if I find you, I will chop off your appendages one by one with a butter knife.

Thanks for the nice comments on the car! BTW... cost me $90 for the powdercoat kit, $530 for a compressor (needed it to paint the car anyway) and $25 for an old oven. The rest was time, and a lot of it.

OK, here's my crummy cam cover. As I recall, John Anderson had some pretty amazing artwork under the hood.

David, when you unpacked that motor, I was not too sure on the color. In the car, it is stunning. Blue plug wires would really be slick, but they have to match.

However, the Yellows do give you that 10hp gain!

Guys, impressive to say the least. Nice jobs. OZ.. still waiting on new pics!!

My pedal covers are Vosstek, got them from betterbodiesmotorsports.com. Frequent advertiser in Excellence. They work great for heel/toe technique. It's the only way I could do it jamming size 13B feet down there.
