Default Some underhood Bling. (56k Warning)

I've had most of these parts for a while but today was nice enough to throw them on. I got the Bo White TB, Parbreak FRC's and Hotchkis polished STB installed. Yes, the engine needs cleaning but the installs took about an hour in total. I also bypassed the TB colant lines while I was at it. The FRC's came out great and are a perfect match to my paint. Thanks to Bo and Bryan!!

Polished Hotchkis brace is lookin' good. I have one too and it's a nice piece.
Had a BMR for awhile, but the Hotchkiss is so much better designed.

No, but I had a hell of a time with the dipstick. It did not want to line up with the FRC and then it hit the STB. If you look closely you can see it's not the all the way seated. I pushed it down but it popped back up again.

I like the polished STB but it arrived pretty scratched up. I know aluminum is tough not to scratch and it is just under the hood but I was hoping for something a little less scratched. Oh well.

Mike,

The dipstick will bend a lot and that helps with lining up the FRCs hole. Also,
the dipstick should sit nicely right between the two bars on the STB.
Just bend your's forward an inch or so and it's right there. That's how I have mine.

Looks good, might wanna take that top bolt out of the TB and take it to a local bolt and supply store and match up a stainless allen head style .
