Re: Sbc valve covers

Those are some good looking center bolt valve covers, I'm looking for a set to fit my vortec heads.

Can you confirm if they'll fit?

Re: wheel well, black paint or undercoating?

I'm in the same boat, I need to get the bottom side painted so I can start installing parts back on. Under coating seems to be the best option for durability.

What's the best stuff to use?

Re: Right Stuff Detailing brake conversion kit

They look like great kits, but you could get what you need out of a newer car.
I'm currently overhauling my third gen and the cost to rebuild and convert to disc isn't reasonable.
