    Well its all done. Smoothed and painted my front valve cover. Color is Ford Blue then I epoxyed one of my extra badges on.
    Just need it to warm up past -10 so I can put it on. Damn weather.

    nice job, but i think it looks better if you use vynle inlay letterings or something like that. the badge looks out of place on the cover.

    Yeah I know. I had enough trouble thinking of something that wouldn't be but came up empty.

    Not bad man, you did a good job on the fill, and prep work, thats a plus right there.

    As for the badge...I'm going to have to say naaaaa, on that. I would of left it smooth, and shaved, just how I like my women.

    But if you want the badge under your hood somewhere, best placement I have seen for them is on the radiator support right in the middle. Not a bad place in my opinion.
