Let me know what you think.

 

lookin good

 

I thought about goin silver with my valve covers also, post some pics once you get this on the car.

 

Looks very nice. Should definately add a nice touch to the engine bay. I don't see too many LT1 engine bays in nice shape. Lots of neglect from previous owners

 

those look awesome! i cant wait to see them installed. how much did the shop charge you for that? i was looking into having a couple things powdercoated at a local shop over here in ohio and it didnt seem that it would be that expensive to have done. i was pretty suprised because i thought it would cost an arm and a leg. anyways your stuff looks sweet!

 

Powdercoating looks soooo good.

Clean, tight, and professional looking!

That is going to look fantastic when installed!

 

That looks great! Please let us know how much you paid to get it all done.

 

Thanks for all of the compliments. Until it is installed I am keeping it all in a bedroom closet. About every other night I pull it all out and just smile.
The cost was minimal...FREE. I did it at the shop I work at after hours. To do all that I did would get sort of costly if I had to pay for it. Most places don't primer the metal and most won't clear it w/o additional cost. To powder all that I did would run, guessing now, between 300 and 700. It would all depend on the shop, location, materials used and prep work done. I figured it out using the shops standard rates for blasting, prep work & taping, primer, color and clear and it worked out to just under $600. I really don't know how those rates compare to other shops but if I had to pay it likely wouldn't have been done for a LONG TIME.
It was free, but since all of those parts were off I "talked" myself into doing the heads, cam & wp & vented opti. So it ended up costing me a couple thousand in the end but I couldn't pass up doing the coating or the mods!
Thanks again.

 

Nice!!!
