"Man I gotta get my valve cover off and paint it today with some sweet ass dezignz." "I will get a beer first and surf 2gn for a bit"

20 minutes pass

*Need another beer*

10 minutes pass

"Gotta piss"

3 minutes pass

"Mann I am stlL thurstie, this beer rulez I am gonna get another onez"

1 hours passes still at computer

"I bettur get my valvecover paitned today soonz, where's my car at?"
"Oh yeah its in the yard, hahaha" Wheres da paint I mean,...shit I need to buy some piant and some rust proof sandz papers"

Gets up and goes outside to open the hood on his car

"Man, ain't she a beaut"

Opens hood

"Shit I gotza take all those bolts off and shizz"
"I need another beer"

Goes inside to get another beer

Goes back outside to look at stock valve cover

"I bets dblsg is already paintin his right nowz"
"I am tired"

Shuts hood and goes inside to surf 2gn.org drunk then go to sleep.

not really, Its just that chrysler simply brands the replacement car emblems under mopar but mopar itself does not make any metal "M" emblem. Kinda weird if you ask me.

i was going for something like this

I just got tired of waiting and had it painted today by the painter at work.

looks so much better in person than in the pics. I work for an airline repair station so some great aerospace paint was used on it.

^that's what mine will look like tonight... cept it's ford red... but that's just the base, very little of that will show thru on the final product...
