Damnit Grippy, the valve covers have nothing to do with how it runs. Get the fluids in that thing and fire it up. You can always put on a set of nice valve covers LATER!!!!

Remember, future mods. Gotta leave yourself something to do in the future.

cant do **** until the high temp coater calls me and tells me my headers are done , well, I(we) could finish the wiring harness......

finishing up the fab work on the inter-cooler tank, here is where I took an auxiliary battery tray, bent all the tabs flat, sharpied the general location of the tank, working on the mounting tabs now, should be welded up by Wed, hopefully the headers will be done as well, then all that's left is the wiring harness and intake tubing(that's a Joe and I project), and start tune.
