Started a project on the Deuce. Will take all winter. Engine and Engine bay is part of the mods I have planned. Here are a few pics. I am stalled untill the heater I ordered for the garage comes.

Here is what I started with (just a painted engine cover (boring)



Under the engine cover (Ugly)


Rough up the Coils with a little scrub pad (Dry of course) to get the shine off



Where I went with this is: Red coils, gold coil brackets and krinkle black valve covers - Let me tell you under the valve covers was spotless. I was suprised for a 5 year old car not to have any sign of dirt or sludge. Mobel 1 pays off!





This is just the start. I have have a LOT more to do yet.

 

Tadd , Looks Nice..

 

Looks good, why not corvette covers?

 

Great touch on the coils and their mounting bracket! Really keeps your red/gold theme going!

 

Nice start! What kind of paint did you use on the coils?

 

if i had the 5.3 i'd mod the fuel rails and let that beast intake manifold show.

good idea on the coils tho! I am looking to do that sometime soon too

 

Frankly they where out of my budget and the main reason I was not sure my coils and rack would fit on them (Coils are expensive to replace 80 some bucks a peace)

I have a lot more mods I want to do so weighing cost versus how much they do for the car.

 

Yep losing the Engine cover and painting the intake manifold and adding come color tubing

 

Duplicolor High heat engine paint the gold and black krinkle are VHT High heat engine paint. All have ceramic in it

 

that's gonna be sweet looking.......
