If so, thanks for the compliment!
You might want to add a comma after Man. It substantially changes the meaning.

If you meant that a man makes your mouth water, I apologize.

Thanks! Sometimes you tend to forget these cars are powered by an internal combustion engine.

This engine lives on and will be put in a frame off C3 resto-rod.

I was waiting for this picture!! Gary, your bay is actually why I started this thread, Im curious what valve covers those are and whether you did a relocation of the coil packs, or if these are "coil pack covers". As always, gorgeous

Those are 242-1 Holley BBC replicas. They are coil pack covers and designed to fit the LS2 coil brackets. If I remember correctly only the top two mounting studs line up on a LS1. Some trimming was required for clearance in other areas. Probably took about two or three hours to get them fitted right. Painted satin black with a gloss black Chevy valve cover script decal.

Gary, I had found those a few months ago ud had no idea they were the same. The script decal is what threw me off, I thought it was part of the covers. Great work

My old C5


My old Grand Sport




I will have flat black powdercoated ALT covers like you see on my Grand Sport in a week maybe two for all you guys. I loved the look as it nicely hides the ugly alternator!

What do you guys to clean the plastic parts like the cowl, and fenders and tanks etc.? I have some water spots and it just isn't vibrant looking. Last car show I entered they took points off because of it.
