  • Ooooo, I love powder coating.

    Just got my intake and valve covers back from the coating shop. I think they turned out pretty sweet.

        Not at all. For the intake manifold, he cooks out all the crud, then a bead blast followed by the powder coat. That is only $45. I opted to add the valve covers and have everything sealed in clear powdercoat as well. Grand total was $140. Not only is the finish stellar, it's resistant to crud and oxidation. it will look great for years to come with only simple upkeep.

            That's not too bad. There is a place here in town that does powder coating. Next time I have a need....

              this set is going in the GN. it's being de-modded to a certain extent so that it will be a more tame long distance cruiser. The goal is a still a relatively tame 115-117 mph in the quarter which doesn't need the gorilla block. That motor is out and will be refreshed...... to be put into..........


              Just gotta wait and see.

              Like my sig says, something's coming.

                  It in the garage, I'm going though it doing all the free manual labor items in order to make it worthy of show. I got it cheap, it needs lots of TLC.

                    Looks great. Love the color. Not far off from the air bridge on my turbo car.

                      Yea I figured that block is going into the Fiero to make it perfrom like the body kit it has on it's frame.
