nice! I like both your new and old valve cover. Is your oil cap the top of a piston?

I liked the old one too but I got a bunch of fuel on it and messed up the top coat so it needed redone anyway. I wanted to go with a new color scheme for my next setup thats comming in the mail tomorrow so I decided to paint the cover and the charge piping the same color as the rims (bronze).

BTW, it is an edelbrock oil cap thats suposted to look like a piston, they make both high compression and low compression ones.
