<![CDATA[Valve Cover Car]]>Every year, our auto program has a skills competition including a test, some videos, and best of all, a valve cover car race. To enter you have to take a valve cover, put wheels on it, and make it go down a angled track, just like a soap box car. This year, I wanna go crazy on mine. I was thinking about welding some sheet metal on there for a bodykit, make a little spoiler, and getting some crazy shit airbrushed on there. Anyone got any good Ideas. Here is a valvecover similar to the one I am using. Photoshop your ideas on this and post them. THANKS
Joel

Those should have some NOS and flames and such.

I just talked to the airbrush guy at the mall. If I primer it, hell do whatever I want on there for like 25 bucks. Was thinking about making a old vw bus since they are the same shape, but who knows. Is there any hobby shops that sell shit like stickers of altezzas for nitro carsor anything that I could use? I'm definitly putting a Fargostreet sticker on there. Any suggestions for a frame? I was thinking something less complicated like K'nex or something. I have like every single set ever made. Lego's were n00b!

We got killed in the skills test and quiz but oh well. I won a free pos oil filter ratchet and gave it to my auto teacher. That thing wasnt worth sht.

I won it and got a nice air ratchet from Napa. I took it to Napa the next day and got like $75 for it! haha:) Goodluck.
