So today I went by the shop to take a look at the car for the last time and see whats going on... I thought i was going to see my car like in the last posted pictures...I thought wrong! the car inside is completely put together with the exception of the seats and steering wheel! They have instaled lots of parts already and more to follow but this build is going to fast and im still not down range. Like Emery told me " WE get things going around here" lol u sure do!

The idea I had... would take a very long time to do and no one is going to spend that kind of money on a valve cover.
I wanted to shave the cover (like Ricer's) and paint it shiny black. Then design a stars/stripes graphic that would wind and wrap around using metal flake blues, red, sparkly dark red, white, silver... it would be a many-layered paint job using many expensive paints after spending too many hours designing.
Then I thought of the Puerto Rican flag design... but Justin Rivera would probably kick my a$$ if I didn't do one for HIM!
But THAT would be a super baller centerpiece to an engine bay!

Lookin good so far. Good luck over seas and come home safe!!! How much weight do the sparco seats drop over stock seats and how fat man friendly are they? Inside seam to seam would be nice
