I bought a couple of GT-40 uppers two weeks ago and decided to keep one for the Thunderbird. I stripped and smoothed the areas to be polished,then wet sanded with 220 to 2000 followed by a good polish with Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish then some Mother's Billet polish. I also added an Australian "FPV" badge to it. It seemed appropriate. The intake plate has a cheesy black and white "302 Power" graphic all over it....it had to go. What do you think guys?

I think that looks great! One of the best looking intakes Ford has made
Mine may not always be on the car, but I'll never get rid of it!

I'm trying to decide what to do with my other GT-40 upper (the one in this pic). I was going to use it,but the screw holes for the upper plate were wrong,so,this intake got shelved and I used my other one. No pics of the one I polished, it was just painted silver. Nothing special..Here's the before on the intake plate...........
