Alex, I kind of have an idea for the valve cover, but Chris Cessna would have my head if I didn't also suggest it to him as well! Once I find out if it is even do-able, I'll start some sketches!

They would be pretty darn sick.
WoW...lol the only thing i want to leave in there is the PS cause is gonna be a Daily for the month of summer in Watertown lol. Everything else that i dont need i want to keep out so the engine bay looks clean... But the guys are doing an awesome job! Let me know about the valve cover y got some ideas too

I agree but i got this car for dirt cheap and 7 years in the winter with out no love is not bad at all! I was surprised it wasn't Flintstones powered with holes in the floor boards lol.

7 years of winter on the east coast! That puts it into perspective. Not bad at all considering!

That cleaned up nice!
It's really not as bad as it looked especially once they replace the nuts/bolts that are rusted.
