Latest engine bay mods!

that looks sweet rich!! i know its a hike for you guys, but you fellas planning on heading to NED for Tasca Day in october?


Jimmy, I do plan on coming up for Taska day, at least that is the plan as of this moment. I know its a little ways away and things might change as there are quit a few shows in the next couple of months. I'll keep ya posted.



dude, you have way too much time on your hands, don't you?

you need to have a couple of kids or something, geez

:hail2:


Thats funny as I have absolutely no time during the summer months with runnning a business and going to shows just about every weekend. If I had some free time I would be finished with this car already. As far as kids... I still am one. LOL




Can you give me tips on how you did your Systemax intake black like that?

Oh and I don't think I need to be the 19238304th person to tell you that your engine bay looks just amazing! :hail2:


I had the intake powdercoated.



To the rest of :SNSign: thanks for the compliments, they keep me motivated in my never ending battle to get this car finished.

As of this weekend he has some new plans too! :stirpot: And I got a couple for myself too :stick:

Troy I take it you like it?

autumn... I still have quit a few ideas floating around in my head I just need to find some time to get them done. Its tuff to break the car down inbetween shows and have it up and running for the next show, so a few things will not get done till show season slows down. Right now is the busiest part of the show season. So until I get started on some things it will remain a mystery. LOL

Bah! You can just go in the garage for a little bit at a time, twice a day, and hammer it out like I did last week while leaving no free time for anything :bang:
 
How did they keep the letters and lines from being black?


The letters get taped off before they shoot the powdercoat.


rich meant to ask u, what STB is that? i need a new one..


The STB is from Steeda.

Yeah Dave... seeing your bay again definately gave me a few ideas and I take it you grabbed a few from me also.:nice:

I have no problem hammering things out but for the last 2 weeks I have had to do that and its getting old. Besides some of the things I have planned will take longer than a few hours of wrenching.



I too had the opportunity to check out Rich's bay over the weekend and it looked sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttttttttttt.


Thanks charlie I need all the help I can get to try and compete w/ the King:hail2:
BTW your bay was looking pretty hot this past weekend.:nice:
 
I know the major thing, I can't imagine what else. I only have 500 little trick detailed things going on in there :rolleyes: :rlaugh:

Can't wait to see the pics Ang took. My group shot pics came out rough as I only had a 2MP camera (phone) and had to shoot from so far away to get them all in.

You can see 'em here though along w/the rest of the weekend's photos: Index of /carshows/ffw08
 
That looks cleaner then some Carb'd bays, how you pull that off is a credit to you.

My favorite piece, and this may sound weird, is the piece where you connected the fuel rails together across the intake and around the distributor. Super low-key and classy, without the obnoxious AN fittings sticking out of place.

Adam, The design of the BBRC fuel rails helped out in that department as they already have a 45* bend to them, so adding just one 45* AN fitting helps keep it clean.
