Default Winter bling mods have begun...

Well, since I am still tearing stuff off for paint, powdercoat, and other mod stuff, I thought I would snap a few of the powdercoated tb that I painted over since the powder coat did not turn out to my liking, and the powder coated valve covers.

Next on the list will be the intake, coil pack brackets, and a few other none motor parts that will be painted charcoal grey metallic. This should be a nice compliment to the black parts.

Also the valley cover is off for black powder coating.

The tranny comes out this weekend to get a rebuild. The car is really looking like a mess with all these parts all over the place

My color scheme will be black, charcoal grey metallic, and polished aluminum. I want to keep the color scheme suttle. Not any bright parts that stand out to much.

I am working on the Speed Inc. aluminum fuel rails to top off the painted intake.

After I saw Steve's intake for his 69 camaro, I knew mine had to look like that. I fell in love with that color. Some of the parts on my car I painted very simiular to that color a couple of years ago. Now its time to get it done by a professional.
