Default Silver Intake with Polished Rails

Anyone have pics of a silver painted intake with polished fuel rails? Would like to see how that looks. Not sure if there would be enough contrast between the two to look right.

Might this be the car I remember seeing pictures of initial starting back years ago?

The setup looks very good too.
what fitting did you run to get the gauge on the rail? a 3/8 with a 1/8 hole, then goto -8an?

The best place to get it painted for a really glass smooth finish is a body shop. Regular BC/CC paint is fine. Engine compartment heat will not affect it.

Yup. This is the car we've been building for a couple years. It's done. Here are some pics from the Corvette Museum last month.
