Some very creative ideas there.

Nice CF that looks good.

Like the mil spec plug and the engine. I do think it could have been just a tad cleaner NA and would have really should out.

But non the less from me

looks good, that would really stand out if the motor wasnt polished and the valve cover was painted white or something bright. Looks amazing though with all the CF. where did you get the cf from?

i have a friend that builds small airplanes and he gave me a bunch of scraps.

I plan on having the valve cover powder coated once i have my valve cover -10an bungs welded on. also plan on redoing my IC piping with larger and smoother piping.

I'm liking the creativity, to be honest. Is the CF just overlaid onto the original sheet metal? If so, did you vacuum bag it or just sand down the excess resin and polish?

PS. You might want to do something about that charge piping, because it doesn't match the quality of the rest of the engine bay. Just my opinion though, so you can choose to ignore it.

Very nice and creative on the CF! Im just wondering once its starts getting hot under there if the CF will start peeling off?

I havent had any problems yet with heat or "delaminating" its really durable so far. I dont drive the car much so wont worry about it too much.

that looks awesome! Great job!!! I did a datsun 510 last year where we overlayed the engine bay. If you do have delamination problems hit me up. I have some prototype clear that is designed for over 400 degrees and will work great if you have any issues
