I am probably going to have to pull the tail section off again and put something else on there. ☹ I think you figured it out, but yeah, anaerobic sealer doesn’t “set up”, it stays gooey wherever it’s not squashed. I use this on my bedplates, cam caps, etc…, and where is oozes out, it will stay gooey for years. –mark ---

Are you choosing colors based on what you use at work, or just going 80’s? I found your driving shoes too. ![http://www.highsnobiety.com/uploads/pics/Bilmore80s_Purple-Gold.jpg](http://www.highsnobiety.com/uploads/pics/Bilmore80s_Purple-Gold.jpg) ---

> [@Willybeen](#): > > You’re never going to be able to sell this. lol. > > you and choko seem to have similar beliefs on resale values. eh, most of the zany colors are hidden from the eye. I want a color that works with the color of the car. Keep in mind it’s kind of yellow-ish in natural light so whatever color I pick needs to be a good match to both. ---

the motor should be brown (to contrast) ![http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc107/yellowssm/PictureorVideo006.jpg](http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc107/yellowssm/PictureorVideo006.jpg) may I recommend Porsche macadamia brown? ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3018/2500606089_6dd05af7da.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3018/2500606089_6dd05af7da.jpg) ---

Someone suggested woodgrain, witch would rule, but is too hot for vinyl. ---

That picture does give me a good idea though. I think I am going to paint the center ornament cover body color, and everything else purple. This way I can save the nissan emblem that is glued onto the cover. Kind of how his center is black… Except my center will be body color and the rest of the valve cover and timing cover will be purple. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/015-r33-skyline-motor.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/015-r33-skyline-motor.jpg) ---

Your little subscripts on your webpage are pretty entertaining, I enjoyed reading everything. I can’t comment on what you’ve done recently because I haven’t dabbled in the 74 pages of this thread yet…but you’ve got a lot of work put into this car, best of luck getting it where you want it! ---
