Show me your clean engine bays

[scottyhops]

Where are you guys getting this work done on your valve covers (shaving/coating)? All the shops I've tried contacting have terrible service and never pick up or reply to emails.

do it yourself, how ever you can get rid of the letters i know people have used a grinder but its on aluminum so its not the best choice and you're going to have to sand it smooth...Then go and have it powder coated or high heat paint

I don't think I could risk ruining my vc like that . Plus I want to get fittings welded also.

you don't risk it just just go enough and then sand the rest of the way with emery cloth and then you go like 80grit up to 1000 if you want it perfect smooth, and all that is is drilling and welding

I have spent months trying to get my engine bay worthy enough to post a pic in this very thread.

So, be BRUTALLY honest. What do you think??

I'd say that's a hell of a difference! For the record, I like the stickers on the underside of the hood. Tasteful advertising of the parts on your car, and people only have to know what you put on the car when you choose to show them via putting the hood up. I like!

Thanks man. I hope it's worthy enough to show in this thread (although there are some dirty engine bays in here).

That is about it on my bay for now. Has come a long way. Deleted a lot of stuff plan on deleting the complete air box out of the car so the heater core and evaporator outlets will be removed soon.

I love the ambition, hope we see lots more kick ass progress pics and updates of these builds!

I'd like to contribute my engine bay to this thread. It isn't 100% done and certainly not up to the level of some of the cars in this thread but this is my first attempt.
