Black car? Bright, frickin' red!

'Course, the polish is good, too. Chrome and black are always correct.

It may not rust in the old fashin sense but it can still be hit by corrosion and it can be bad see it all the time on aircraft

so it can be bare just stay away from salt water areas should be good in CO


But I say powder it

Rod why not get one of the rear feed Mustang superchargers and fit it up to what you have done ie hang the supercharger on the bottom of the plenum after clearing out the veee. Since it feeds from the rear there is no obstruction to align the pully, Oh yea dry sump it too even if you don't do the SC bit.

Just without the flake. Speak softly and carry a big stick comes to mind.

i had polish 355cid mini ram intake as you see it in the picture here, pleae visit my webpage and see my 86 car, and give me acomment! there are 5 pages there. the callaway areo body will be transfared to my ZR1 in 2007 summer! the rear callaway should be modified for wide rear Zr1 as well.
i had to clean and take care the manifold every week, since it wasent CLEAR coated, so better to clear cote the polished alum. from rust!
