how to make valve cover gaskets

[JTRACING]

I was fooling around with an engine tonight, and decided to make some valve cover gaskets., for this all you need is some thin sheet plastic and siccors. i just cut a few thin narrow strips wide enough so they stick out when the valve cover is on. then just paint them blue or red or whatever. this will be a DEI engine and the pictures i have they use blue gaskets., anyway thats all there is to that. you can see the effect when i place the unfinished valve cover on.

anyhow i think it looks cool, just thought i'd share it.
