Talking Sunday evening hard-on, pics inside

been busy this weekend on customer parts..

have to say this LS6 intake in electron blue is about the coolest thing I've done yet. the mirror red FAST I did before held that honor until this baby got finished. its about the sexiest thing i've seen for an engine bay yet lol


here is a different camera and flash angle. the first pic is represents the shade of the color alot more, its not this light in person.


here is the throttle body to go with the intake. argent silver with super gloss clear, polished throttle motor thingy(i'm not a vette guy, can you tell? haha)


here's some of DopeFedZ and his buddy Rob's parts I'm working on..

here is Dopefed's FAST intake in rally silver with super gloss clear, hand painted raised lettering under the clear powder. couldn't get the camera to show how deep and shiny the clear is, oh well.

mirror black 2" billet valve covers


mirror black stock valve covers and rally silver brackets with clear


mirror black TNT ring, headlight brackets, and MAF ends


mirror black 90mm TB and stock TB

I'm getting there, I really need to lay some samples on the hood of an NBM car at this point to see if I'm right. All the close up pics I've found are still making it too hard. If i can get a real car in front of me(I should in the next few days, I know a few) it'll be a matter of getting the powder and shooting a few test pieces to play with the powder thickness in order to obtain the right shade. Its a priority for me color wise, you are one of several people that want to see it happen
