I didn't even bother painting mine, so its half rusty and half factory black. I figured whats the point??? You can't hardly see the damn motor and I wanted it to look unmolested so I just painted my intake. I'll try to get some pics soon

haha I pray it was a seldom driven, show only car. I won't touch chrome after using a chrome oil pan and seeing how long it holds heat AFTER the motor is on. I had to wait 3hrs to change my oil when I was breaking in my motor since the pan was still hot to touch. I didn't feel like having hot oil on my hand.

The w/p isn't on but it is powder coated purple with the electric w/p. The intake, T-stat neck and some other little stuff was done as well. Polished fuel rails etc, etc.
it's all to match the flames.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Hey Tony do you know what size plug fits into the waterpump (oil cooler)? And how the Heck did you get the factory outlet out???

I have heard of people just pulling these pipes out, but it's alot easier said than done lemme tell you. I just cut mine off with a carbon wheel and then went to town on the inside diameter of each pipe with a carbide burr. Once the walls of the pipe are worn thin enough, (gotta make sure to keep moving the burr around the whole perimeter to wear it away evenly), you'll eventually break through in a spot and you can just curl it in and pry it out.
