looks a little messy where you tape off the red to spray the black on the lumps. But definitely looks better than before. Little touch up and ur good to go!

Definitely an improvement. I personally would have gone flat/matte rather than glossy, but still looks good. Let's see it after the touch ups!

haha yeah I know the tape off was really bad...but I got the paint to touch it up...it was just getting dark last night and I didn't have time to finish it correctly...started at 3 and didn't get it looking like it does now until 9

now sand that header down and spray some high temp black on it and it will help set off the red and black theme of the valve cover!

I have been considering that for a while now...I think that will look nice with the VC as well

need to seperate the plug wires, having them touching can cause arcing and eventually maybe burn whole in one, just looking out, could get some spacers from autozone. vc looks good.

or you could buy the spacers from advance
