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

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!

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

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

The letters get taped off before they shoot the powdercoat.

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.

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 know the major thing, I can't imagine what else. I only have 500 little trick detailed things going on in there

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.
