under the hood pics
i was under the hood of my truck the other day and my ol lady said that my engine was boring (women) so at first i laughed and i then i started thinking whats the point of making the outside look good when the engine looks like plain so the point of this useless thread is to ask for some pics of your motor or any thoughts of what i could do to please this unpleasabe woman i was thinking about pulling the valve cover and intake horn off and painting them but i cant think of a good color the outside of my truck is white
any thoughts? |

I did my valve cover as described above, somewhat.

Wheres your overflow cap haha. I like that color looks good. is that a compound twin?

I painted my valve cover with high temp grill paint, it was nice and flat but leaning allover it getting it greasy made it kind of shiney |
i think i may have to go white and i never thought about the alt bracket what kind of paint would last with the heat and i love the twins look we could just trade:w2:
and empty wallet how did you mask the lettering off i want mine to look that good thats what i mean i can tell you both have nice trucks and i havent even seen the outside |

The intake horn, and apps braket are bare aluminum with a little mothers metal polish you made that big of difference just by cleaning it some that after pic is a huge difference the only thing bad about mine is that it came from up north and there is some signs of salt damage under the hood great pics keep em coming |
Rust Or oxidation of the aluminum parts?
