Lookin good, fellas.

I'm going to be coating the front timing cover when I build the motor (probably black/red). Most of the army green hardware under the hood I've already painted black to match my powder coated upper plenum. I can't wait.

FYI - I've been very happy with the work that Pro-Coat Performance Coatings has done for me here in Tampa. They did my plenum and exhaust manifolds. The quality was excelent and it only took one day to have it completed.
