Is it the picture or is that coil-cover warped under the "BY FORD" section?

It’s just the picture. I think Its the lighting and shadows.

Better pics

Washed mine so expecting rain tomorrow.

Also got my buddy to do another t-shirt design.

Wow cool shirt I really like that.

I printed a 36" laminated poster at work for my garage too. He did this one too. All from the pic I took in my sig!

Not for the Mustang but for my Tundra ... ordered some new tires for it.
Got 4 years out of the General Grabber AT2's ... going with Mastercraft Courser AXT's next, same LT265/75R16 size.
Truck is leveled using Bilstein 5100's.

Brought the car home last wed. from a 4 week stay at the vet- had to have new head gasket , installed and had a trans brake and a 2 step wired in. Was raining of course- Today we had a beautiful 45 degree day and sunny (for MI) So drove it about 25 miles, washed it and played with the newly installed gadgets. Wont get many more cruises in it in 2018.

Installed pacesetter longtubes over past 2 days. Sound is great with my corsa axle back, havent been able to test power gains or litos new tune yet, sadly.

I will say it one of the shittiest jobs ive ever done on a car, even IRS swapping my old 96 cobra on my back was easier then this on a lift. Pacesetter fitment was fine though!

Looks good!
I agree, there isn't much joy during the process of installing headers.

Recent picture of my Naturally Aspirated 358 Cubic Inch Engine for my 1986 Mustang GT. Still waiting on Headers and some small accessories to continue with the project.

Wish our 3v valve covers could be that smooth! Looking good!

with some polishing they can be.

Nice looking polished valve covers!
It's alot of work to get them to look like that as well as to keep them looking like that....

Those look sweet! I bet that was a ton of work .

I have always like the look of that square look of the push rod valve cover. Do fill and buff or just wet sand to get the wavy ripple look out?

They were initially buffed with a cookie disc. Then the elbow grease and wet sanding started. This was all done before the Powder was applied.

Everyone here hates header installs on these cars. I've done it 3 times now (initial install of JBA's, removal to paint and resinstallation, and then replacing them with 304SS JBA's). The initial install is kinda rough but honestly, that's more for the same reasons it sucks on any other car (removing old hardware). Beyond that I didn't think it was all that bad. I hated replacing my lower control arms a lot more than the header install.
