Hey All. I am going to be getting my valve covers, upper intake, coil covers that are custom and just in raw aluminum right now, and some other little goodies powdercoated in my engine bay. Any suggestions on colors? I have already gotten my coolant crossover tube and another coolant tube coated in silver wrinkle(looks like a silver/black). My MM is black(is there any other color?;)) and I have red Bob White reflective decals in my bumper. My calipers are red also. I would love if anyone that has work like this done on their engine bay to post up pics so I could see my options please. Thanks ahead of time for any and all pics/suggestions.---Russ

btw, its the same color, my camera made the later pics look lighter, although they did lighten up a bit

Looks nice Doom. I had to dim my screen to look at all that bling.

Where'd you get the chrome WW fluid cap? I've never seen it on Colex.

Here's a couple pics or Marauderman's engine bay, you might want to PM him to see if he's got some better pics he can post up.

Colex don't make it, but I believe you can get it from a supplier of mustang bling parts, the tank cap is pretty generic.

Now that I noticed it, I plan to do some research for it. ;)

Im a fan of chrome like Doom, mostly because its a known fact that truckers like chrome on everything so we have that in common as well.

If I had to go with a different look, I'd go with a black chrome on the cam covers, with chrome coil covers then do a chrome intake lid and alternator. The contrast would look great.

I'll check and see if any of the vendors have anything at Carlisle..

Paul I guess a stop at the Chrome Palace is on your agenda on the way to Carlisle huh

Indeed. I have 3 items on my engine that I really want chromed. Maybe someone on the fairground will have these items.

Yes. I see all the other caps but not that one. Did Dan custom do it for you?

Eastwood's chrome and cleared with red ribs and red and black letters. I also did wheel sparkle silver on Speed's car. That looked pretty good. The 03-04 cobra covers look kinda like it. Not sure where my pics of that are. Maybe he will chime in.
