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

me and some buddies did this last year for our auto program. We went o Moorhead tech for the day, took some retarded test, ate free pizza, and raced our valve cover. We got second. We put some of those rubber looking skate board wheels on there and painted it with some kind of chameleon paint. it looked bad ass. Hell, we even won a trophy.

You Lie. I was the only one with Chameleon paint last year. Steal someonelses Identity. I also had a Cerwinn Vega 4" speaker and a cd player on mine. -
hey wannabe....i remember your car. Didnt the speaker blow or the cd player quit working at the end of the day though? And your full of sht, we had our car painted with chameleon paint too. We were the guys from ada. 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.

Some of us are just gifted from Moorhead.....until they take you to the deisel mechanics room and try to tell you that the hoola hoop in front of you is a piston ring

i still did pretty damn good in the diesel room...even tho thats not really fair when the wrist pin is the size of a flashlight lol
edit: i think there was somethin wrong with the circuit i had and i like confused the "tech" in front of me but of course there was nothin they could do about it

I didn't prepare that car much, but this year it's gonna be way different. 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!
