Paint valve covers...DONE! Thanks to TacoBill and NamelessLiar for great write-ups aiding me along the way. I will have better pics when it's light out! haha





BTW I want to kick the **** out of my battery right now...most annoying part of re-installation.

Thanks Tanner, I can't wait to get the interior wrapped up this week! I've also got some shock tower covers, and a fuse box cover on the way so I can't wait! Next weekend I will either tint my lights or paint my calipers...maybe both, we'll see! haha

That's why I decided to do mine without removing the battery.

How did you pull that off!!? I couldn't get my torque wrench down there with it in and it was such a pain to get that cover off with all the wiring (unless you removed it unlike I did, haha) BTW, can you post pics of your valve covers post-install? I've been wondering how it turned out

That looks sick. Hmmmmm...that really makes me want to do that in Redfire on Baja...I had planned on doing some airbrushing on a plenum/fuel rail covers...but this makes me think twice.

I was going to do the fuel rails but I chickened out. When I read instructions for removal and it involves a fire extinguisher I tend to let that one go...haha Just make sure you set aside a couple of days if your stang is your DD because Allinon was exactly right that it was a full days work (took me two full days by myself between removing, prepping, painting, curing, re-installation.) It was much more of a project than I originally thought but I'm glad I did it. Just read the write ups I mentioned and have a haynes manual handy and you'll be fine. Recruit someone to help you get the covers on and off as that is somewhere that I think requires help if you don't want to scratch the hell out of them.


BTW HT, DOOOOOOOOO IT!!!
