I agree, too many colors. With the yellow battery, red FRC's and silverish intake. Get a redtop and it will look better.

Very sweet. Nice intake...

Aside from the battery, polish the radiator cap or remove it. Looks like it belongs on a 1973 Ford pick-up truck.

Really likin' what you've done so far man! Keep going!

What's up with your coolant line off the radiator to the TB?

Thanks bro, yeah definitly need to do something w/ that cap. I really know what it's like to polish **** up right now. I have a new respect for what you do. Grinding off all the casting marks, sanding w/ 220, 400, 800, 1000 grit sand paper. Then use a buffing wheel and polishing compound to make the TB and MAF look good... Took a couple hours each

Another suggestion. You may want to completely remove the Air Line

Corvette FRC's don't fit with our engines IMO, out of place since it is not a vette, never liked them.

I got mine off ebay.. Just search "optima cover". Most come in either red or yellow. But it doesnt matter because they can be painted to match whatever you want.. Also they say "Optima" on the top of them which can be sanded down smooth.. I cant wait till mine comes in!
