So I decided to get my valve covers repolished and custom powdercoated candy on top to really make the color pop. Fun fun fun...found a stripped motor mount bolt, 2 loose valve cover bolts on the driver side, and 1 nut that was jammed on top of the rear corner bolt on the passenger side which made it a pita to work with smh....

Anyways here is the final results:

Looks good but I think this looks a little better for your type of car. They polish it to a mirror shine then add a tinted clear over it to give it that 24k appearance.

Ironically, that was the original plan. My friend went on vacation and when he came back, discovered that the gentleman he told to polish the items first with missed the first step. He was more than upfront with me so I appreciate that and stated that he would gladly do it all over again if I was unhappy with it.

He sent me photos of the candy powdercoat and I honestly like it lol. The polish underneath would make the candy look a bit more transparent, but shouldn't change the hue too much so I am fine with it.

A crazy find. @srtmafia on Instagram forwarded these pictures to me of a few motors from a 1957 300c. Apparently gold was used back in the day which is awesome!

It seems as though that my Photobuck bandwidth goes out every month, so I will update on here as bandwidth comes back. However, for those that haven't followed me yet for more up to date photos, you can follow me on Instagram: e85hemi

Anyways some more pics. The motor should be put back together tomorrow. Here are some fun pics while I waited for my gaskets and MAP sensor:
