so how's this thing coming along now?

Question for anyone...sorry if its stupid just being cautious...when you take the 2 hoses off the valve cover is there anything I gotta be careful with?...like is it going to pop off or is some fluid gonna make a mess of things or what?!

CANDY PAINT IS DONE!!!.... decided to skip the pics of the silver base since it was a nightmare and a half lol... so heres pics of the candy.... as you can see it has different shades of green in different lighting conditions... at normal view its very dark!!... but i plan to wet sand the candy coat after a few more days of drying and hardening so i can make the initial look lighter... and then once the 2k grit is done ill clear it... and make room for a new valve cover design im going to do.... hehehehe

enjoy!

thanks guys!!.... when different tones of light shine on it it goes crazy on shades of green.. kinda cool i like it... the only thing im a tad unhappy with is with very little light its a very very dark green... but i think once i sand a few layers of candy off with 2k grit and then clear it will lighten up to the shade i want...

either which way.. the quick pics i took dont do it justice... in person its fergaliciously wet! LMAO

ill update with more pics soon!!!!!!!!!!
