[Goose]

No Chrome! The only bling is going to be the Throttle body and the stainless hardware this time!

nice i need to put my 6al box in my car need to buy a few things for it

[camarokid]

that engine paint that gives it an anodized look is pretty sex too, ive seen it on a few blocks and valve covers ect...

[Goose]

A quick update. All the basecoats are down, just have to do a little wet sanding, masking, and then I can spray the rest. The runner flanges will be black, top of the plenum will be black, the fins on the top of plenum will be white. Once that is done all it should need is a good clear coat to keep greasy fingers from staining the white.

(Hard to tell in pictures, but the black is just pure black, a little silver flake with lots of silver pearl. The white is pure white with lots of blue pearl)

yes sir

cant wait to see it all done!

[Goose]

Had a few issues with my shitty 2am masking job, but its nothing that can't be cleaned up. Once its dried for 24 hours i'll hit it with some 1500 grit and then clear.

Well here it is, almost completed, just needs to be clear coated. I already scratched off some paint installing a bolt on the lower runner, lol.

looks really good Nick , now lets see it on your car :p

[Goose]

tell me about it! Hopefully I'll have my new motor in the car by the end of May.

[90_383]

nice , dont you think maybe you should have clear coated it before you put it together ?

[Dunout]

just need a pic with a set of boobs on top of it then its a finished project

[Goose]

nice , dont you think maybe you should have clear coated it before you put it together ?

I had to go buy clearcoat this afternoon. I had some time to kill, hence the assembly, then I had to disassemble it to clear. I tore the fuel rail apart too, it needs new seals and the rails could use some sanding and polishing.

[camarokid]

god damn! that looks soo nice man!

great work
