Before:



After:
I first sanded down the tabs that were not being used, then painted them black and the two lines Chevy Orange.


The coil packs and bracket were covering too much of the valve covers up, so I made little brackets that moved the coil brackets up about 1 1/4". I think they turned out pretty good. I still need to tear them back apart and paint the brackets and bolt heads to match the covers.
Also I rerouted the coil wire harness under the fuel rails to try to clean it up a bit.

I really need to get on the ball and save up for those damn headers. I think that would dress it up a lot more!

Thanks! I really don't have any time any more either.
I used Engine Enamel Primer , Engine Enamel, and Engine Enamel Clear. I have not yet got them dirty, exept for the one valve cover that has been painted for two months now, and I just used a damp rag to wipe it off with.
