Default finished my LS valve cover...

stock valve cover in its lame and busted *** form.




new badder asser valve cover with spark plug cover.

the out side grooves are being filled in and sanded smooth.
the cener piece is going to be polished and the rest wrinkle black.



finally got around to mostly finishing it. still needs a few more things to be how i want it.

thanks for the comments!

i had it kinda painted earlier (had it on while i painted the the valve cover to keep paint out) and it looked really good. but im going to polish it first...then ill sandblast it again and paint it. just to get an idea of both. im doing this on work time (were slow right now) and calling it "practice" and "learning" so i have plenty of play time with it
