Just got my studs in and I am stoked beyond measure that bottom tapping my block was enough. I didn't have to cut the webbing on my valve covers or anything. I also decided to repaint my multicolored engine. I got my hands on some CARC (Chemical Agent Resistant Coating) military base paint from my shop and was wonderin what you guys think about the green/black color combo. Feel free to be brutally honest because I was also thinking about painting all the green stuff red. wuddya fink?? the two cooler lines and I/C tubes will also be green.

i like it, looks cool.

 

looks good.

i think the red would look better.

but the green is different

 

Lol Ramrod90 she is different. But possibly we 1st genners are a lil different anyways. Paid for trucks, old iron, fixer-uppers, tickerers, somewhat dependable, and many more things. Leave it, the cool factor of being different has to be worth something. Besides if you get chemical agent sprayed your engine will be good to go. Good luck with it.

 

HAHA yes I do enjoy being an individual but now I can honestly say that my truck is EMP and Nerve Gas proof. LOL. I'm gunna name my truck "Apocolypto". At first it was just going to be the primer but then I kinda took a liking to it. Ill post up some pics tomorrow of all the stuff on and painted. More than likely going to finish it in red later on....oooor paint the entire truck green and flat black like an old war wagon. I already got one like that. on the left there <---

The only person my truck has to impress is me <------ Words to live by!

 

Just a question.. Whats up with the studs between the exhaust ports. I'm seeing alot of threads on the nut and no stud?

 

That picture is before I torqued em down there good now.

 

I love the olive. If I had it, I would have used it instead of the hemi-orange on mine.

 

Thanks man, that happened to be all I had.

 

Whew.. Dude I was alittle worried.

 

It would kinda defeat the purpose of a super strong stud to have it grip with 2 threads.

 

Do you think you you could post a pic?? I think hemi-orange would look sic!

 

Here are some more pics of it closer to completion.
