He never shoule have let me clean up his engine, he's gonna have too much to keep clean under the hood now, lol
Meth spacer needed some work too
Polished
I'm thinking I might change the throttle cover to black, the polished just doesn't go with it too well I think

sweet, sounds good, he ended up getting 06_SIC_SS's engine off him, so whenever he gets back from vacation were gonna take a couple days and drop the rest of the old engine out and put the new one in, and rerun his meth system and some breather lines, but yeah, she will look pretty nice, and now that I'm taking his old engine off him, I need to find me a nice body to drop it in, lol

lol, well than, I did not know that, thats why I was gonna take it off his hands, his impressed me so much, I decided I wanted to go with a cobalt, mainly cause it comes in a manual, less fab work, and gets better gas mileage than my truck, and once I move back to wisconsin in a few months I have access to a body shop, so a wrecked one for a couple grand will work good for me,

yes I do, I've really only built trucks before, so its alot different working with his car, I just like all the complements I get after spending a few hours on a piece thats all dirty and grimy and make it look well, like the valve cover I did, at first I was gonna just do all orange and black by the spark plugs, than I started sanding the tops and looking at some pictures on here, and I was like ok, everyone is either painted/powered coated or polished that I've mostly seen, I don't think I've seen any that were color matched and polished, but just ask carstedt, I can never stick with just one idea, over the past few months I've gone from building a 240sx, to a grand prix, and now I want a cobalt, supercharged of course, yeah turbo's are faster, but their everywhere, now a blown lnf would be nice cause of the direct injection,
