thank you your majesties! now i wanna get the clutch fluid reservoir and brake fluid caps cause i butchered the OGs' so i could fit those chrome covers on. anyone know where i can get these besides the junk yard? they don't wanna sell the caps by themselves.

autozone high temp paint. red 6407. i painted it then waited til it was dry, but not too dry and then i peeled the top of the letters with a razor blade. after it dried real good i sanded the top for a polish with some 400grit.
don't put the valve cover in the oven after painting even though the paint can says it's ok. i did it and had to strip the cover and redo it. came out aight though.
edit: for the charge pipe i just used .94 cent flat black
they don't get too hot to mess up the paint.
