Linc Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I have been trying to find time to finish my engine cover and today I finally got the chance to get this thing done. I formed the metal panel from 18 gauge stainless sheet and used 1/4-20 stainless button heads to attach it. I really wanted to put a beaded edge on the stainless but I just didn't have the skills or tools for that. I covered the stainless in a couple of coats of high temp clear to help it last longer and stay looking nice. Then I put a new sport badge under hot water for a few minutes and bent the curve out of it. After it cooled I mounted it on the stainless. It isn't exactly what I envisioned, but really close and I am happy with it. I need to find a stainless or aluminum oil fill cap that doesn't have someones name on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linc Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 I need to spend some time detailing my engine bay. Living on a dirt road sucks for keeping cars clean, but it is now installed and looks pretty sweet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
