Fila Progress Thread ( reviesed and minus all the BS) 56K death September 12, 2007, 08:11:36 PM Ok, I'll start this off by saying this. This is a progress thread. Not some bs like the last one. If I wash the car, it doesn't make it on here. No " guess what I thought of" , no random thoughts. Only phycical work. If you have a problem with something I do, please don't trash the entire thread because of it. Oppions and ideas are fine but please, no personal stabs or any " why did you do that to the car...." stuff. With that, I give you a few progress pics of the last week or so: Painted a carb to get an idea or twoColors are Gloss allumnium and Flat black The valve cover project Quote Selected

Fila Progress Thread ( reviesed and minus all the BS) 56K death Reply #14 – September 12, 2007, 11:56:38 PM Thanks for the comments guys!!! As for the valve covers, all I did so far was paint them, skuff the paint on the fins and hit them quick with a nice bit of clear coat. Enough to keep them safe for not but not enough where I can never go back and sane to pollish up. If you think this is good, I got more coming. Like hiding wiring, cleanin up all the connecters.... lots of little stuff that will add up Quote Selected
