This is part of a video series in which we are going over the steps to create a custom engine cover for our 2020 and 2021 Mustang GT. These videos will cover the process from start to finish; starting with the design idea, then creating the prototype part (plug), making a mold, and lastly, creating a finished product from the mold.

I absolutely love one-off creations - something truly custom. Very well thought out, well executed, and I can't wait to see how the mold process works. I assume we'll see some Twister Orange on the wife's engine cover. Yes?

[@timleuliette899]

Great use of those Roush covers! Turning out nicely! I'm waiting for you to make a video on how to make/modify the stock strut tower brace fit over a Roush supercharger! Seems like no one makes one, but lots of people want one (including me!).

[@mcgurrentertainment]

Thank you very much. Modified Strut Tower Brace would be a pretty cool build. I need to buy a supercharger.

[@d3et1roi3t]

Nice.

[@mcgurrentertainment]

Thank you!!! Can wait to paint it
