Going to do another coat of red in a bit. I'm going to have to buy another can of white tomorrow, I let the paint dry too much before taking off the masking tape off the intake runner shape area and a little paint peeled off one side. Kinda fun project except for the fumes!

Yeah I went ahead and painted mine too. Tried to be original but it didn't turn out quite like I wanted it to. So it's back to the drawing boards!

Looks white cause it's still wet in the pic.

CarloCrusader where did you get that 3rd engine brace? Did it come on the car? I wonder if one will fit on mine?

That is the strut tower brace, that is moddified to clear the Alternator. Then most use mounting brakets from this place.
