Got bad news about the covers tho, took them to someone who hasn't had experiance doing this type of thing, and he did not sand blast the covers so the pc isn't sticking well. he did however not charge anything for it and is giving me a good deal on more powder, then i'm taking them somewhere else to get done correctly, just more time wasted.
Sounds like a fun winter build! BTW make sure they don't powder coat the inside of your valve covers. I know a guy that his powder coat came off in his oil and destroyed his motor.

^ that just sounds rediculous, I didnt even think to mention not to do the insides, figured that was just a given!

got some parts in and some pics for you guys, nitrous kit is all here, just need my controller and the nitrous is all in my possession. Got my wheels from timspony, picture doesn't do it justice, they look amazing! Also got my polished battery intercooler reservoir. Should also be ordering up my clutch in a week or two, would like to get the clutch and valve covers in soon so i can start my car again, I forgot the sexual sounds that is a 4v

Got my valve covers on today, haven't made up my mind on what style coil covers I'm going with yet, will either be black with TERMINATOR polished letters on them, or the powered by svt, same color black with polished letters. Also got the new intercooler tank set in, and the nitrous plate/noids set in place just to see what they'll all look like. Gonna paint the brackets for them black tho for sure.

Looks good CT,

The nitrous install looks clean and the valve covers look better red then I pictured them to be.

Imo the powered by svt will look cleaner, Idk for some reason I think the terminator looks a little tacky and is overused somewhat thats just me tho.

got a few more things in. clutch and flywheel are here, going to put it in next weekend. also got some cheap tires mounted on my wheels so i can drive the car a little when the clutch is done. 255/40 up front and 275/40 out back, they actually look to fit the wheels perfect but once tax time comes I'm going with a set of 305/40 r888's for the rear and will be smoking off the ones I have now . here's some crappy pics:
