Some of you may remember that Emily bought me the Signed Valve Cover at our Christmas party auction. I was thrilled to get such a wonderful gift but I knew I had to do right by it. Well, it just came back from custom framing yesterday. I waited till Michaels was having a big sale to get it framed as I knew it would be an expensive item for sure.

I came up with the design and showed it to the framer who I had worked with before and is absolutely amazing at her job, she suggested a few of the touches after looking at my sketch and knowing what she had available as far as materials go, and here is the final result. Let me know what you think. The room is currently undergoing a Viper Transformation with many custom touches that I will share when they are done. But I figured this was a great place to start. I am absolutely honored to have this piece.

There are some close ups to see the detail and a few others to show it as a whole, please disregard the flash spot that may appear in some of them. I promise, it is even more beautiful in person

VB,
Glad you are happy with the super special Gen V signed valve cover. I certainly was one of the highlights of the auction. You are one lucky dude to have a beautiful lady who shares you passion for the Snake and was willing to spend what ever it took to get it for you. The presentation looks great too. Now you need to get rid of that old slow red sled and get a new super fast white Gen V!! :)

If you can make it that would be great but that's a long drive for just a few hours. Would rather see you next moth at Bill Luke Bass Days car show since he is a club sponsor. I don't know if Todd will make the concours on Sat.

I'll be coming, but as just a spectator. I'm not ready to show my car yet. I've got to put it in Eddie's hands for a little while first. Maybe in time for the Bill Luke show. I'm going to bring my other car, but it's nothing special and is definitely not worth a $50 entrance fee. And i was was talking about the valve cover display, although having a woman that loves your car as much as you do is pretty nice too.


Recieved an email from Russo-Steele about the event as well. Had this link to the Boys and Girls Club website with details about the show. Good to see they mentioned us by name, briefly.

Thanks. That's what I was shooting for. Clean and industrial but still very elegant.
