I have a truck intake that I want to shave the useless and unsightly brackets and fins. Then epoxy and paint. Can this be done? Has anyone done this to a truck intake? I searched and seen an LS1 intake done, but not the ugly truck intakes. Just curious.

Mikem77 is doing that very thing. I would think as long as you don't go apeshit and take off too much, it would be fine.....see thread below, post #5

Yep, same idea I have, but I want to take off all of the ribs and the injection seal off's (or what ever they are called, those cap lookin things). Thanks for the link!!

There was another guy that shaved everything off and then put an aluminum cap acrooss the top to cover all the holes. I think he painted it tan or copper colored after that. Looked pretty good.

That is all I can remember. Wish I had paid attention as i may want to do the same thing.

I just think it would make a nice finishing touch in a swap application. I will try it and see how things come out.

The early one piece truck intakes don't look too bad when they are smoothed. I would think the later multi-piece manifolds are a lost cause.

After looking at my intake, it might be more trouble then its worth.....

It can be done, IIRC I pulled these pics off one that was listed on e-bay a couple years ago.
