looks really good!

where did you get the brake cylinder cover and is that the polished hotchkis brace?

if it is the hotchkis could you let me know where you got it and if you paid the nice 300 price tag. i've been waiting to see one in person and it looks great!

very nice....

That looks great! I like how the flames on the valve covers match the ones on the car.

Thanks everyone. The brake cylinder cover is polished aluminum, I got it from Billet Specialties, it is actually made for a S-series truck and fits perfect. The strut tower brace is a hotchkis that I got from Summit about 8 months ago, I can't remember what I paid for it, but I don't think that it was $300. There was one other thing that I wanted to show you cause you asked once before, but I had a radiator support made for me by a local Machine shop out of polished stainless, finally got rid of that ugly plastic piece. The also welded a polished over flow tank onto my radiator so I also got rid of both of my plastic overflow tanks.

Looks good! A lot of cleaning must be involved if its a daily driver i would imagine. Great work man. Not a fan of the valve covers but it works well with the whole engine bay.

OK here is a photo of the radiator support, it is made of polished stainless:


Here is my overflow tank, I had a braket welded onto my radiator so I could mount it out of site:

I bought the valve covers at a swap meet at Kansas Motor Speedway at a Goodguys car show. Anyway they are made by TD Performance Products (TD6987) They are a tall centerbolt valve cover, Billet Specialties makes a stock height flame valve cover also. Anyway you can get them at Summit, but they are on back order, I also found them at Pace Performance parts 1-866-563-9418 or www.paceperformance.com, I hope this helps.
