Frank: Don't give up that easy. Your doing great work on your Monte. It's just a set back. Your engine cover is one of the nicest ones I've seen on here. Thinking of painting mine Victory red. Then everything else will be white. My two favorite colors. My car is Victory red and the only things on it that are white are the SS emblems on the doors. Man your doing NICE work. Keep it up. Rick

Did anyone ever do a V 8 cover yet. I'm working on 2 or 3 designs for mine. Not sure what to go with just yet. I'd like to see any V 8 Engine covers painted if anyone has one or 3 ....Thanks Rick

If you want Rick, post up a picture of your engine cover (since I can't find a good one on Google images) and I can Photoshop your designs onto it so you can decide on what you'd like.
