Since I am stuck at home figured I might as well get some little things done on the roadster.

Looks great. Nice work. See, a Coyote can be dressed up. Well, the Gen 2 anyway. :o

Rsnake,
Looks great and ties in with your exterior nicely! They can be made to look good; Paul did so with his Gen2 and even his Gen3 which poses a bigger challenge. I dressed up a Gen2 Coyote when I did a customer car a while back and think it turned out well:

That build is killer in every aspect. Saw it up close and personal at London last year. Also, the Gen 1 is arguably the best looking cover of the three.

Beautiful engine bay Jeff! How did you paint the plastic, it was my first time and I hope it stays on, lots of work to fill all the letters and such. I agree with you Paul, the first gen looks the best.

Very nicely done! The Coyote is a good engine but for looks out of the box it needs work but this paint job really makes it shine.

...How did you paint the plastic...

Cleaned well with Isopropyl alcohol, 2 light coats of Bulldog Adhesion Promoter then the same as I used on the body (3 coats of PPG Deltron bases and 3 coats of 5 Star Clear)
