Default Demon Carb refurbishing pics

Here are some before and after pics of a rebuild I did on my Demon carb. I had the body and bowels powder coated a semi-gloss black and had the metal pieces all chromed. I left the base plate the billet aluminum and just cleaned it off good.

It is probably more of they were taken with my cell phone. I have it wrapped up in a box right now and stored, but if I get it out I will try to grab some more pics.
