Height comparison. The coil packs hide inside the taller billet covers.

Really digging this view the most, with all sheetmetal stuff.

Replaced all the screws with ARP stainless. Had the lid off, so snapped some more pics of the intake.

Now I need to decide on which serpentine pulley system to purchase. Leaning towards the brushed Eddie Motorsports kit at the moment, as I like the industrial look. This engine bay will have zero chrome, it will consist of black, gray, and bare metal. That is my goal.

Car is now painted with the Hugger Orange basecoat. We added the black DX1 stripes today, I laid out the stencils and tape myself. Took me about 3 hours to measure them out and get the edges perfect. The end result was worth it.

Paint is completed, just needs final wet sanding and buffing. Here is the total:

2 coats black epoxy primer
2 coats white base
5 coats hugger orange
3 coats black for the hood stripe
4 coats clear

Only work remaining is to paint the underside of the car with satin black epoxy paint. Then it comes home for assembly. Going to be a fun winter :)

Looking good Tony,

I think remember the car. Is this the one you were trying to sell at one point?

Looking good and can't go wrong with the team you have working on it.

The fabricated valve covers seem to match the intake perfectly.
