Pictures of my engine detailing, not finished yet.

[Da Hawaiian Punch]

Heres a picture of my project that I'm doing to my engine. I'm far from done and I know it's not the best, but I'm trying. Any ideas on what more I can do?

Post some pictures and share your set up to all of us!!

i think the McDonald's cup looks a little cheezy, but other than that... :L

but seriously, thats pretty cool. what kind of paint did you use? speical heat resistant enging stuff i suppose. ive been thinking about looking into powder coating my intake cover. anyone know pros/cons of this method?

Man, and I thought that the Mc Donalds cup added a little something special, a finishing touch to the engine!!:L
I used the 500* Duli color band engine paint Chevy orange.
You can powder coat, but personaly the heat paint will last long enough, a buddy of mine painted his intake and runners a few years ago, and they look the just the same as it did when he first painted it. The powder coating is expensive to, but of course if theres a certain look that your going for then go for it!!

I like the way you painted the a/c compressor and air pump, etc. black.

I am not a fan of straight Chevy Orange, but I have to say that I really like the look of that color on your engine.

Now you need some hose covers and or replacement "cool flex" hoses for the exposed ones.

The A/C lines are already smooth, you just have to hit it with some polish and it'll brighten right up!! The bracket I did my self. The polish that I use is the new "Mothers Billet Aluminum Polish" works real good!!


"Of a all things there..my girlfreind misses the damn swap meet at the stadium. :duh"

HUh?!? out of everything that our islands has to offer....the swap meet?!?

You need to move back home......which brings me to my question, why are you there anyway?
