    Thank you.

    Now let's see some others. It doesn't take a lot of money to paint and/or detail, just time, patience, and imagination.

    That is the "Fratzog" emblem. It was the emblem used by Dodge from 1964-1978. I think it looks better than the goathead.

    Also, today I went a little evil

    Your engine bay looks great! I also like the way that you mounted your catch can. I haven't seen it done like that before. Do you have any pics of the way you mounted it with the engine covers removed?

    I have used Billet parts to dress up my 6.1. Next on the mod list is a Billet throttle body cover that I will be buying on November 16 at Billet Technology's annual 40% off sale.

    I got bored this weekend and decided to get rid of that ugly silver tube for the intake. Why oh why did Mopar decide on silver? It looked like an ugly tube that didn't fit. With installing the 3G firewall cover and painting that gloss black, adding the 3G ABS cover and painting that body color, painting the coolant tank and strut covers body color, my goal is to make everything but the engine cover sort of disappear, drawing all eyes to that engine cover. So the tube had to change.

    So I pulled it out, painted it gloss black, removed the blue Mopar "M" decal, taped it off and painted (yes painted) the "M" back on in body color. Then I cleared it 3 times, sanded it all smooth, cleared it 3 more times, and buffed it out. I also painted the radiator cover panels body color.
    I am happy with the results
