Hi from NY

[Angry Possum]

Hey all, just became a proud owner of a Ford Ranger -1993 with a 4.0 OHV. 132k original miles. I just did a few mods etc. New headliner, I restored my original rims, deer paw. Just bought a junkyard valve cover for the drivers side, dam it was hard to locate one. Mine was rotting out. Some before and after pics.

The new junkyard Valve Cover.

The current valve cover in my Ranger. As you can see its badly rotted out

Primed 3 times with Rust-Oleum high heat paint.

Finished it.
2 Coats of Ford Blue, Dupli-Color Spray paint. I'm going to install it soon when weather breaks. Still cold here in NYC.

Took me about 5 hours each tire to get the clear coat off.

Pro tip on your next set of wheels: have them media blasted. Even If the closest business that does it is 2.5 hours away... you'll save 15 hours.

Hey Guys, A Quick question, do you think I'll be able to take the drivers side valve cover off without taking off the intake? I think I can move the AC pump out of the way and a few other things to get it out. I'm not so sure though.

I did the rear window with a cool Eagle and Flag Decal. It took me 20 min total. 1st time ever.
Got it on Amazon for $37.
