Default During the course of the weekend.

I made a suggestion to Robert. I said your LT5 looks like chopped liver compared to mine. Of course he shot me the middle finger and said FU lol! But that if he is willing to spend $600 to get it powder coated that I would be willing to do all of the break down and assembly work on it. And that he would not regret it.
His.



Mine.






Sometimes honesty is the best policy.

Great of you to offer, even if he did a cheap spray can job it would look much better.

It's almost impossible to get the valve covers out without removing the engine. Otherwise I would definitely at least spray paint my parts.

You don't really need to remove the "Cam Covers".

Not as bad as it sounds.
Remove master cylinder and booster (w/o disconnecting lines), casing around heater/AC stuff on passenger side and move AC compressor (w/o disconnecting hoses) out of the way. Leaves lots of room to pull cam covers.
Hardest part was disconnecting brake pedal under the dash. That's where TomTom
came in handy! He's a little more flexible then I am....
