I finally started painting my vavle cover which i thought was gonna be an easy task but ford made sure that it was a huge task at hand. anyway i finised them and after all the hard work slash cutting my self on the heads ( i hope a lil blood doesnt hurt my engine) and all the the parts like intake maifold and water compressor are back on the car i just wanted to show off my work and hopefully you guys will appreaite all the work that went in to them. i took pics but my camera didnt quite make um look right they are really glossy like the car in person.

please comment i want to know what you guys think about them

Did you take pics with a cell phone camera? I like the concept but the pics aren't doing it very much justice. The red came out great, the black looks like you have high and low spots though. What type of paint did you use?

Those look sweet! The pictures suck though.

How did you do the "Mustang" stuff? Are they high-temp decals or what? :headscratch:

sorry guys i should have fit all this in one:headscratch: anyway i took pictures of my front running pony emblem and the mustang writing on the passenger dash and photoshoped them next to each other and just printed them out onto a big sticker ( the size of 8X11 sheet) i puts three sizes on the sheet and then cut them out with an exacto knife and sanded the covers and put 3 coats of red down then applyed the stickers and put down 3 coats of black over that removed stickers and finished it up with some clear coat wit light sanding @ 2000 GRIT and thats how you get the ponys on without a decal that will peel off :gringreen

i hate that it looks like that i i realized that when i tryed to get the covers off and had to take apart half the engine and it hides all my work so my next step is to hide all that and do somethin like this so you can see them:gringreen

That's one of the main reasons I'm not crazy about the SN95. No doubt I'd drive one, but I totally agree with the "thrown together" look. Ford did a good job for the S197 and the 2010.

You know what wouldn't look half bad though?

Awesome job you did on those. They will look great once you get them back on your car.
