Well im making some progress, I should have the drivers side done and mounted tomorrow. there was alot of cutting involved and there will be even more for the passenger

Anyone have ideas for the oil fill tube, its bigger a the top so i will have to make a big hole to get them on. maybe i can find a nice looking rubber grommet to fill the void?

Is there anyway you can remove the oil fill tube, install the cover and then reinstall the tube? I know the tube on the corvettes are shorter that may look better and the cap will be closer to the cover.

does the tube just screw in or do i need to pull the valve covers? I thought i read some where that you have to remove the valve covers to get the tube out.
