No, not really, but it's a great color. I just picked up an engine enamel that was the darkest bright blue I could find with a matte finish, and set it up, it's all baked and back together, and it looks really good. I scratched one little part trying to wedge it back into place, but it's no big deal and down at the bottom.


I also stuck a giant filter on the short ram now too. Touches the back of the engine bay. It's awesome.

looks good man, whats next?

Fixing some more interior stuff, then I'm getting a NAV, and mounting it to a board that I have to build that flips and is spring loaded, so you can flip it to a blank plate, or flip it over and it's a NAV screen.

I'm assuming since you've moved on to painting the valve cover, the headliner and audio set-up are done? Any pics?

The headliner still about 80% done. I have new speakers coming in in 3 or 5 days or so. I painted the valve cover because I was adjusting the valves, so I figured I might as well since it's a pain in the A to get the cover off. Two birds with one stone deal.

THe rear speakers are being replaced with a solid mid-woofer, a 4" 2-way speaker, and 2 tweeters, the 4" are going to be in the rear ceiling facing forward, 6.5" subs in the doors, and the tweeters on the E,F pillars facing towards the center of the car.

I got a pic of the headliner on the last page before this, or maybe a page before.

I remember that, but I want to see the whole thing, like open up the back glass and shoot the picture that way

Like this?





Also the trunk sub setup is frozen for now. It works and is half-way put together, till I can assemble a top plate that has less of an edge. It's right now just at the practical working stage. Next is the pretty stage.

[Jwood70]

Thats exactly what I wanted. That looks very nice.
