Derby Cover Mod

[BBChopper]

Well felt better today so I went down to the shop to start some mods I have been thinking about. machined out the Derby Cover's, ready for sandblasting and powder coat. Not sure what color yet, probably copper hammer tone with the back ground blacked out. The coil cover I’m not sure yet. What I’m gona do, probably paint the coil to match the wires.

Any worries of dirt or water getting in there?

Looking good BBC...:up: Also curious about the holes wrt dirt/moisture too. Are you going with some form of interior backing to give a depth look with the black you mentioned or whats the plan bro?

Hole saw and a 5/8" bit. Used a Compass scribe.
