New valve covers for the coyote conversion. Machining begins today. Excited what it will look like in person.

For most of my car that is what I've done. I use SolidWorks or Pro-E to design my ideas. However in this case, the person machining had been making coyote covers already and was willing to make custom ones. I just provided him a picture of the script and logo which he plugged into whatever program he uses.

Some minor updates to my build. I received the custom covers for my coyote conversion. Still need to decide how I want them finished.

I've been lacking on updates because I haven't had much time to work on the car, but the shell is at the body shop now to prep the car for my upcoming engagement photos. Of course it took a major life event to light a fire, but it's getting there.



Car at media blast. It showed good and bad. I was surprised to find out that the car was originally a vinyl top car. The good, the roof wasn't rotted out like other vinyl top cars. The bad, the quarter panel was replaced sometime in it's life, but the repair work is subpar. The body shop will work with it since quarter panels are hard to find.





Car after epoxy showed even more dings I didn't see when the car was out in the light.





One of the subtle changes. Added a GT-E "esque" cougar hood scoop. It will look similar the g-force cougar hood scoop.



I also managed to find 18" wheels that fit my car and clear the monster 15" rotors from the gt500 brakes I'm using.

Nice, Robert. Glad the car wasn't too bad after media blasting.
