Thanks 2muchrice

I can do these and lots more, and my pricing is excellent.

Those if you with the $100 hobby guns need to stop backdooring business, especially you who PM'd me 10 times asking how to do things properly high quality equipment and experience cannot be replaced at any price

I am trying to find time to strip and test an old painted airlid thus week, busy with ls1tech members parts.

Several links in the appearance section withpics of my work on intakes, its my specialty

Ok, got home and can post some pics of my work on intakes..
FAST intakes..




LS6 intakes..





FAST's are $169, which includes color, then raised lettering done in accent color of your coice, and then clearcoat powder over the whole thing.

LS6's are $139. I'm willing to sand them down to remove those factory circles in top for an extra charge.

Stripping/blasting of paint is available as well if yours in painted. $40 an hour, averages 2 hours to get a painted intake ready to powdercoat..

Default 2nd pic

intakes look good, I've gotta do a couple more items to get the consistancy down, but practice makes perfect!

^ I don't think they are going to care much. It's obviously a racecar.

That is Coacho2z28's racecar. He took the pic and gave it to me to use so not sure what you mean.

If you need help on the intakes pm me about it, but only if you are a hobbyist please, not someone looking to backdoor business on here after I help you

Default inlet tube

I did my inlet tube like that, and caught pure hell on this website.

As far as backyard business, I couldn't do enough of these to even think about taking business away from someone who does this full time.....I purchased my stuff from eastwood due to the fact of figuring up how much I'd have invested in having all my stuff done, then figuring up how much I'd have in it doing it myself. It was cheaper and more fun doing it myself. Even if I don't get a perfect job the first couple times, I'll get it right eventually.

Saving money is why I did it.

i've been powder coating for 4 years and i can tell you that if it was prepped and powdered correctly then it will hold up for a very long time. like 10 years or more. i have powdered about 15 intake manifolds
