    Finally adding more to rebuild the the build thread.

    The next think i did to Big Red was paint the cladding. I think red with the grey cladding is one of the most common color combos so i got tired of looking like everyone else. I also got tired of having to dress the plastic all the time too.




    I am very please with the look. the only thing i would change is to use a better paint. i have had to do touch ups frequently. i am going to pressure wash off the crappy paint and redo it this spring.

    The next thing was the valve cover. I needed to replace the valve cover gasket so i figured i would paint it. red of course.





    And it only cost 5 bucks for the can of engine paint. a lot cheaper than the 100 bucks for one of those red replacement valve covers.
