Default My Attempt at the Valve Mod

Well here she is, before and after. Not perfect be any stretch, and if I had it to do over again, I'd do a few things differently... but overall not bad.

For the record, I used vasaline applied with a Q-Tip to the lettering, and it worked really well. It required very little to no sanding after I painted it. I did the majority of the sanding before the black went on. I used a sanding block, and I should have trimed it down a bit because I ended up hitting a bit of the black... but oh well.

Maybe I'll find a used Valve Cover someday and try it again.

Definately need to get some new wires now.
